An out-of-control truck slammed into two first responder vehicles in Michigan this week, shocking dash camera video showed. 

The first responders were assisting another accident on the snow-covered highway around 8:30 a.m. Thursday when the truck barreled straight into a fire truck on the side of I-94 before flipping on its side and hitting a sheriff’s patrol vehicle parked in front of the fire truck. 

The entire horrifying incident was caught on dashcam video from another vehicle parked behind the fire truck. 

The original overturned vehicle being assisted by first responders can be seen on the side of the highway in the video before the crash.
