NEW BRIGHTON, Minn. – New video shows state troopers getting some help from Old Man Winter.

The trooper tried several times to force the driver off the road, but the guy just kept going.

Then, the car swerved to avoid traffic, flew off the road, and slammed into a snowbank.

Officers moved in to take down the man behind the wheel. He now faces charges for driving while impaired.
