The deputy is ok. He suffered minor injuries, "but as you can tell from this video, it could have been a whole lot worse," said the sheriff's office in the post.

The incident happened on January 28 while the deputy was responding to a traffic accident, but the sheriff's office says it's sharing the video now to remind drivers to slow down for all first responders and be safe!
