On Wednesday, September 2, a Sheriff’s deputy from McKenzie County was trapped in a burning vehicle.
According to the McKenzie County Sheriff’s office, 28 year old Deputy Chris Cloud was on his first day on patrol after he had finished his field training. He was driving along Highway 200 in his department Sports Utility Vehicle when he slowed down in order to make a U turn to follow a speeding vehicle going in the opposite direction.
However, as he slowed, he was rear ended by a semi and his vehicle burst into flames. A citizen driving down the highway stopped and put the fire out and extricated the Deputy.
Cloud was airlifted to Bismark for treatment of his injuries and since then he has been transferred to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
The truck driver is said to be uninjured.
