@UTHighwayPatrol Despite what some try to tell us, these guys are hero’s. Trooper didn’t have to do this, but did and saved lives.

@UTHighwayPatrol Let’s name the new MLB ballpark after this trooper

@UTHighwayPatrol Wow! That's one brave trooper.

@UTHighwayPatrol That @UTHighwayPatrol trooper most likely saved lives. Bravo, sir 👏🏻

@UTHighwayPatrol Hope the trooper is okay, thankless job of a cop

@For3JT @UTHighwayPatrol Is there a gofundme set up for this hero?

@UTHighwayPatrol Saved lives

@UTHighwayPatrol Dang, kudos to the trooper but I couldn’t help notice the godlike reflexes on that white car he almost spun into too.

@UTHighwayPatrol Hero

@UTHighwayPatrol Why does it feel like there’s been so many wrong-way drivers recently?

@UTHighwayPatrol Dude is a HERO!!

@UTHighwayPatrol HERO!!!

@UTHighwayPatrol Do we know anything about the wrong way driver? Intoxicated or just confused?

@UTHighwayPatrol The freeway entrance and overpass at Lakepoint is terrible. I can see where someone would take the overpass and think they are headed east and get into the "middle" lane to get on I-80 but it happens to be the off ramp for west bound. no barrier to separate.

@UTHighwayPatrol Wow.

@UTHighwayPatrol Wow. What a hero....

@UTHighwayPatrol Such brave troopers working our highways

@UTHighwayPatrol Wow! Amazing job Tropper. God bless you guys and keep you safe.

@UTHighwayPatrol This officer needs major recognition! 💕🥰

@UTHighwayPatrol Why did they crash. Where was a pullover and an assisted turn around. Seems like that may have been a better option rather than a wreck. Unless, of course, the driver had refused already. That is not explained, however

@UTHighwayPatrol Hero!!!

@UTHighwayPatrol WTF? Wake up people!

@UTHighwayPatrol Another a Californian moving to Utah with a uhaul?

@UTHighwayPatrol A real hero. That’s how it’s done! Thank you.

@UTHighwayPatrol Heroic! That’s a brave act that saved lives!!

@UTHighwayPatrol Yikes hope he’s ok

@UTHighwayPatrol Like a boss

@UTHighwayPatrol Heroic.

@UTHighwayPatrol Mad props to red driver

@UTHighwayPatrol Great job trooper!!!

@UTHighwayPatrol You have saved so many lives, sir. Including our families. We are grateful for your service.

@UTHighwayPatrol Crazy!

@UTHighwayPatrol Obviously the driver of the truck was an idiot
