Teen's Runaway Car Reaches 120 MPH Before Trooper's Daring Rescue

An 18-year-old driver in Minnesota was saved by a state trooper after his SUV malfunctioned, accelerating uncontrollably across state lines.

Sam Dutcher, an 18-year-old from North Dakota, experienced a terrifying ordeal when his Honda Pilot began accelerating without control.
Despite attempts to brake or shift to neutral, the vehicle reached speeds of up to 120 mph as it crossed into Minnesota.
Minnesota State Trooper Zach Gruver devised a quick plan, instructing Dutcher to intentionally crash into the back of his squad car to bring the SUV to a stop.
The collision activated the SUV's crash mitigation system, allowing both vehicles to safely decelerate without any injuries.
Authorities suspect a computer malfunction in the vehicle, and Honda has recommended a detailed inspection at a dealership.
