Deputy in Louisiana Slides and Falls in Mud While Working Accident

(KTDY) - A Sheriff's Deputy with the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office has gone viral on social media after he was seen falling and sliding in the mud while on the scene of a wreck.

The Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office shared a video on its social media page showing a deputy approaching a vehicle in a ditch on a rainy day. As he approaches the car, he loses traction on the slippery surface and falls into the mud and water.

The funny incident was captured on a unit's dashcam and, likely with the deputy's permission, the agency shared the mishap with the world on social media.

According to the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office, the deputy was not injured in this slip-and-fall, but perhaps his ego was somewhat bruised after his mishap was made public on social media.

Safety Reminders When Driving on Wet Roads

When driving on wet surfaces, AAA Exchange reminds you to drive slower than you would on a dry surface and to avoid sudden movements that could cause you to lose traction and lead to an accident.

Remember, when your windshield wipers are on, in most states, you are legally required to have your headlights on too.

It is also wise to always stay in your vehicle if you are involved in a crash, and avoid getting out of the car or truck until police or other emergency personnel arrive on the scene.
