Around 12:28 a.m., Washington State Patrol (WSP) troopers were investigating a vehicle collision involving a deer in a 25-mph zone. Then a separate vehicle came up at high speed, well above the posted limit, and crashed into the group.

The vehicle drove between the patrol vehicle and the damaged car and put the WSP trooper and just narrowly missed them.

Amazingly, no one was hurt in the near miss. Troopers quickly arrested the driver, and they were booked into the Kitsap County Jail on charges of Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and Reckless Endangerment.
