Eyewitness accounts can often add a human element to a news story and in some cases, the re-telling of a story by a witness can become bigger than the story itself.

The internet is riddled with dozens of entertaining videos of everyday people giving their account of incidents that make the news.

One such video from Mississippi television station WLBT shows a witness giving their account of a traffic crash that injured a police officer is making its way around the internet.

The video is going viral like so many before but Sweet Brown and Charles Ramsey have nothing on this eyewitness account.

The witness gives an emotional account of the crash and the video has already been shared thousands of times online.
