In Texas a police officer took affirmative action to tackle a drugged driver dangerously speeding the wrong way up a major highway. The officer spotted the errant vehicle heading the wrong way and drove his police cruiser deliberately into the path of the car, to safeguard other road users. Seeing the police car in front, the offender screeched to a halt, then turned his car around and sped off again, in a bid to elude pursuit. He was halted however and later charged with a string of offences. Arresting officers found two young children in the offender’s car but luckily they were unharmed during the incident.
