Cop jumps into stranger's car to escape pack of wolves running on freeway: Real or Fake?

Update: Astute Boing Boing readers have identified the video as fake. Good comment thread.

Details are as fuzzy as the video, and I'm jaded enough to believe it could be an ARG or a viral promotion for online traffic school. But if this video is to believed, a policeman in Russia jumped into a stranger's car when he saw a large pack of wolves running on to the freeway (the cop was making a routine traffic stop). Wonder if he still gave the driver a ticket.

YouTube Video, and Dagbladet report.

What do you think? Fake/staged, or video verité? I'm having a hard time believing it, but it's a cool clip.
