Macomb County Deputy Sheriff Nicole Miron sprang into action on a bustling highway after noticing a silver truck veering erratically on one of Michigan’s main roads.

Behind the wheel, a 63-year-old driver was visibly in distress, suffering from a sudden medical emergency.

Without a second’s hesitation, Miron and Anthony Gross caught up to the vehicle, where Miron leapt into the passenger seat of the endangered vehicle, fighting against the chaos of the traffic. Gripping the wheel with steely determination, she skillfully brought the truck to a stop, saving the driver—and perhaps countless others—from potential disaster.

In bodycam footage shared with ABC News, Miron instructs the 63-year-old driver to “stay there” before she climbs through open windows from the passenger seat of the moving patrol car into the passenger seat of the moving truck in order to save the driver.

“When we pulled up next to him, you could see he kind of looks over at us — he’s in, like, a daze, confused. It clearly was some sort of medical issue,” Miron recalled, speaking to Good Morning America.

Miron said they were able to keep track of the moving truck during the incident.

“Luckily, we had a caller following the vehicle, so we’re able to keep tabs [on] exactly where the vehicle was headed,” Miron said.

“I was worried about trying to keep him safe and us safe, and with the heavy traffic in the area, and trying to stay as close as I could so that we could handle situation,” Gross recalled.

As the two vehicles neared a busy intersection, Miron said they had to think quickly and act faster.

“I want to get him stopped before we entered that area, because I didn’t know if he could hit somebody else, or they wouldn’t see him and hit him. And it probably could have been a lot worse,” Miron said, adding that it felt like time stood still.

Wathe the dramatic scene as it unfolded:

After the deputies saved the driver – as if straight out of a movie – he was able to get help. The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office told ABC News the motorist is now “home and is OK.”
