The police dashboard camera then captures the moment the officers deliberately crash into the car, being driven by a 77-year-old man with dementia.
The police driver is heard telling his colleague: "I had to mate." The officer replies: "I know you did, I know you did."
The police force has praised the bravery of the traffic officers for choosing to engineer the collision to prevent the car from hitting oncoming traffic.
The male driver, from Rowley Regis in the West Midlands, had earlier been reported missing by his family. He was not hurt in the crash on the northbound carriageway of the motorway. One of the officers suffered a minor injury in Monday's incident.
