Officer Survives When Huge Tree Falls on Him During Traffic Stop [VIDEO]
This routine traffic stop turned out to be anything but.
Centerville, Iowa police officer Jeremy Veach miraculously avoided serious injuries when a tree fell on him after he pulled over a car.
The footage was captured by Veach's dash cam.
The driver Veach stopped was also not hurt and did not get a ticket.
Veach says he knows he's lucky. “I was picking tree bark out of my hair — it was in my ears. It could have been a lot worse than it was.”
