Not good. Wasn't this close to the same area a drunk driver went the wrong way from 310 and killed a few people a year or so ago?

I think that was on 55 itself. You have to be really drunk to drive the wrongway on 55

A St. John Parish sheriff’s deputy was airlifted to University Medical Center in New Orleans after he was hit by a possibly intoxicated driver while assisting with an accident on Interstate 10 Monday morning.

The deputy was hit a little before 6 a.m. on I-10 west near Interstate 55, said St. John Sheriff Mike Tregre.

The crash forced a full closure of the westbound lanes as officers worked the scene. The interstate reopened about 7 a.m.

Tregre said the deputy was reaching into his unit to grab a first-aid kit when a speeding car rear ended his cruiser. Trooper Melissa Matey, a State Police spokeswoman, said the accident involved three vehicles.

The deputy, whom Tregre declined to identify until family was notified of his injuries, was bumped and bruised, but his injuries weren’t serious, Tregre said. Matey described the injuries as "moderate."

“He’s gonna be alright,” Tregre told WWL-TV. “He will live.”

The driver of the car that hit the deputy was also treated for minor injuries at a St. John hospital and will be tested for DWI, Tregre said.


Bumps and bruises and still airlifted? Nice perk. Glad everyone seems to be okay.

So if the cop hadnt stopped somebody for speeding this could have been avoided.

Get cops off the radar and onto stopping real crime
