Road Wars Season 6 Episode 4: A police officer gets injured after he gets thrown off a moving car's roof

The recently released Road Wars Season 6 Episode 4 featured an incident that took place in Carroll, IA. A police officer pulled a sedan over on the side of the road. It was because the officer recognized the individual who was driving the car. There was a warrant against him.

After the police officer mentioned the warrant, the individual refused. He said that it was not him. When asked about his ID, he said he didn't have any at the moment. Hence, the officer asked him to step out of the sedan.

Despite multiple attempts, the individual didn't come out of the vehicle. The police officer moved to the front of the car, keeping eyes on the driver and the other person. Soon, the individual turned on the car. Witnessing that, the police officer took his gun out and ordered him to stop the car. While doing that, the officer moved in front of the car.

In just a few moments, the individual pushed the other person out of the car and jumped into the driver's seat. To stop the individual, the police officer got on the car's hood with a gun in his hands. The incident was recorded in the officer's chest cam.

However, the individual continued to drive, and they soon got on the road. Passing bystanders witnessed the dangerous confrontation with the police officer on the hood of the moving car.

The officer continuously told the individual to stop the car. But he didn't listen. Soon, the officer holstered his weapon and moved towards the roof. There was an assisting unit in another car. They tried to stop the individual, but he drove away, with the officer hanging onto the roof.

Further on the Road Wars, the narrator described:

"The terrifying chase, then hails into an industrial area where hanging on becomes much harder."

The suspect's car hit a ditch on the road, resulting in the officer flying off the roof. The assisting unit rushed to help him. However, he told them to get the suspect. But they couldn't do so, because their vehicle was stuck in the mud.

The officer was injured with a compression fracture to his vertebrae.

"According to news reports, suspect's vehicle breaks down about a mile away where he's ultimately arrested a few days later. According to court records, the 29-year-old, eventually pled guilty to serious injury by vehicle and a sentence for up to five years in prison," stated the narrator.

The officer who fractured his vertebrae took almost a year to recover.
