An FHP Trooper is being hailed a hero after she blocked the path of an impaired driver near the Skyway 10K race this weekend.
PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — Officials are celebrating the actions of a Florida Highway Patrol trooper that blocked the path of an allegedly impaired driver near a local 10K race over the weekend.
"Where I was positioned is probably about a half a mile from the starting point, and so in my mind, I'm thinking, 'She's going to stop,'" Schuck said."We have another checkpoint that she's going to stop at." Pictures show how the collision mangled both cars. Schuck said she wonders what could have happened had she not put herself in harm's way.
