A stunning example of why people should slow down while driving in the pouring rain.

A squad camera video captures a Wisconsin State Trooper leaping to get away from an out of control pickup truck.

The incident happened on Wednesday near Madison, Wisconsin.

The trooper was grazed by the truck but was treated and released from the hospital that same night.

Authorities say the video shows why drivers should slow down to the appropriate speeds during bad weather.
