A South Carolina woman made a heart-pounding escape from an alleged fake cop who authorities say kidnapped her after posing as law enforcement. Dashcam footage shows the handcuffed victim sprinting toward an 18-wheeler on a busy roadway as her accused captor followed behind in a car.

A truck driver was on the road in South Carolina when he saw a woman in handcuffs running down the road, looking for help.

Thanks to the help of a truck-driving preacher and bystanders who stayed to help, the kidnapping attempt was thwarted.
