DENHAM SPRINGS — A Denham Springs police officer was hit by a vehicle on I-12 Friday afternoon, sources tell UWK.

The incident happened on I-12 westbound between Juban Rd. and Walker. Sources tell UWK that the officer was responding to a suspicious male walking in traffic on the eastbound lanes of I-12. That person then reportedly took off running into the westbound side of I-12. During that chase, the officer and the other person were hit.

UWK is told that traffic on the interstate was stopped so airmed could land and transport the officer to the hospital. The officer is reportedly in stable condition. Three others were transported by ambulance, and UWK is told that none of the patients are considered critical.

It’s unclear who the other victims are at this time. DSPD says that the Walker Police Department and the Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office are assisting with the investigation.

Police officer on foot hit by a car. 3 or 4 headed to hospital. Not a lot of details yet other than a foot chase. Everyone is alive last I heard and the cop is injured but not critically.

Your mom farted

I actually saw this guy walking along the Interstate. I was westbound and thought it was weird that during heavy rain some dude wearing a black shirt and carrying a stick would be there.
Hopefully, the officer will be OK.

I am gonna ask. They shut down the interstate to fly someone to the hospital that has non life threatening injuries? Explain that to me.
