The Minnesota State Patrol (MSP) shared video of a stalled pickup truck’s occupants running for safety after a multiple frightening close calls with semi trucks on I-94 in St. Michael.

MSP shared the video on December 20 as a reminder to drivers about staying in your vehicle if it becomes disabled.

From MSP:

This video shows why it’s important to stay in your vehicle until help arrives after a crash.

Luckily, no one was hurt this morning when three people inside a disabled pickup on Interstate 94 in St. Michael got out and ran in traffic, but there were some very close calls that could have turned tragic. If you are involved in a crash:

• Call 911.
• Move your vehicle to a safe, nearby location if you can.
• Stay inside your vehicle and buckled-up until help arrives.
• Turn on your hazard lights so other drivers can see you.
