On Sunday, Utah Highway Patrol Sgt. Cade Brenchley was walking to help a stranded driver. That's when another car lost control on the slippery road, sending the trooper flying into the broken down car.
He says he blacked out right after the impact.
"I woke up and I saw snow, and I was laying there. It knocked the wind out of me, I was gasping for breath. I was right up against the car, and I remember thinking to myself, 'I've been hit,'" said Brenchley.
