In an emotional press conference, Sheriff James Thompson recounted his harrowing experience following a log truck crash that left him with severe injuries. Speaking to a crowd of supporters and members of the media, Thompson expressed profound gratitude for the overwhelming support he has received throughout his recovery process.
The incident occurred last month when a log truck overturned on Highway 101, striking Sheriff Thompson’s patrol vehicle. The sheriff was on duty, responding to a call when the collision happened. “It all happened so fast—one moment I was driving, and the next, I was in a nightmare,” Thompson shared, detailing the moments leading up to the crash.
After the accident, the sheriff was rushed to the hospital with multiple injuries, including a fractured arm and serious bruising. The medical team worked diligently to stabilize him, and after what felt like an eternity in recovery, Thompson is now on the road to rehabilitation.
“I want to thank my family, the first responders, and the community. Your prayers and support have been my lifeline during this tough time,” said Thompson, his voice breaking with emotion. He noted that the accident served as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by law enforcement officers daily.
The sheriff also took a moment to acknowledge the driver of the log truck, who suffered injuries in the crash. “I pray for his recovery as well. This is a reminder that we all share the roads and must watch out for one another,” he added.
As he focuses on healing, Sheriff Thompson’s message is clear: resilience in the face of adversity fuels the spirit of community service and unity.
