CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Dashcam video shows the moment he intentionally hit the wrong-way driver in an attempt to stop them from endangering others.
When Nicole McCoy answered a phone call from her husband Tuesday, he had a startling reason for coming home late from work.
“I just finished my shift in Salt Lake County, so I crossed over into Tooele County. I didn’t hear anything on the radio at that time,” Chad McCoy said. “I just noticed cars moving to the right and then a truck facing the wrong direction. And then I realized it’s actually traveling at a pretty high rate of speed.”
In Tuesday’s crash, everyone involved was able to return home, but Col. Michael Rapich with the Utah Highway Patrol said that’s not always the case.
