Dramatic footage has emerged of the moment when brave police officers from West Yorkshire’s Road Policing Unit put themselves in extreme danger to save other motorists. 

Officers had received reports that a vehicle had been spotted driving the wrong way along the M1 motorway at the South Yorkshire border. 

Two police vehicles, ahead of the motorist, positioned themselves to try to stop the driver. 

However, the elderly gentleman who was driving the car did not stop and instead ploughed into the police vehicle’s front. 

Had the officers not have risked their own safety, then there is a high probability that members of the public would have been seriously injured.

Thankfully, nobody was seriously injured in the incident. 

Reports are that the car driver had become confused and that he is now being ‘looked after by friends and other agencies’.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.

    All drivers over 70 should have a medical and eyesight test at licence renewal. In fact, all driverd should have an eye test on application and card renewal. Ideally, they should also be tested to ensure continuing competence.
