Driver Skids on Black Ice, Nearly Hits Deputy, and Keeps on Going

A Lincoln County sheriff’s deputy had a close call during a traffic stop when the driver of a passing car hit some black ice and spun out of control.

Dashcam footage shared by the sheriff’s office on October 11 shows a car skidding on black ice and spinning towards the deputy, who’s standing alongside his patrol car.

The clip shows the deputy and a number of people involved in the traffic stop jumping out of the way. The driver of the vehicle fails to stop.

“This was a close call involving one of our LCSO deputies, a WHP officer, and several others. With temperatures dropping below freezing, remember that roads may be slick,” the sheriff’s office said on Facebook. Credit: Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office via Storyful
