Brave Trooper Stops Runaway Car on Vegas Beltway | Tucson News

A Vegas driver’s brakes fail on the 215 Beltway at 80 mph—no power, no shift, no stop. Panicked and on the phone with 911, they’re trapped in a runaway car heading downhill. Troopers scramble, debating risky options until one officer makes the call: he pulls in front, using his patrol car to slow the beast down. In a heart-pounding maneuver, he brings it to 21 mph before a safe stop. Everyone walks away unharmed. The driver, shaken but alive, admits this was the worst brake failure yet. Troopers call it heroic—some even say it deserves a life-saving award. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
