In a disturbing turn of events, a Grenada County deputy was sent to the hospital following a serious crash earlier this week. The incident unfolded during the evening hours when the deputy was responding to a call for assistance.
Authorities report that the deputy was en route to the scene when another vehicle collided with the patrol car in an intersection just outside of Grenada City. Witnesses described the sound of the crash as “deafening” and rushed to assist, immediately dialing 911 and providing first aid until emergency responders arrived.
The deputy, whose identity has not been released, sustained significant injuries and was quickly transported to a local hospital for treatment. As of the latest updates, medical staff have reported that he is stable but will require further observation and care in the coming days.
Local law enforcement is conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash. Initial reports suggest that weather conditions may have played a role in the incident, with heavy rain leading to slick roads and reduced visibility.
Grenada County Sheriff’s Department officials have expressed their concern for the deputy’s wellbeing. “We are all praying for his swift recovery,” said Sheriff Alton Strickland. The department encourages the community to show their support during this challenging time.
The video footage of the crash, captured by a passing motorist, has been turned over to investigators. Authorities urge anyone with additional information to come forward as they work to piece together the events leading up to this troubling incident.
