salute to Arkansas State Trooper 1st Class Moomey for sacrifice and heroism, driving head on into a drunk driver on an interstate to prevent the drunk from injuring or killing innocent drivers


On August 8, 2016 Trooper Moomey was in a crash with a wrong way driver on Interstate 40 near Van Buren.

Dash cam from Moomey's patrol car shows the officer approaching a vehicle traveling in the wrong direction. Moomey said he tried to block the speeding vehicle from crashing into other oncoming vehicles.

Moomey was rushed to the hospital and put in the ICU.



After multiple surgeries and physical therapy for a year, Moomey was named Trooper of the Year in June for his heroic actions.
