Bossier City, LA – A Bossier Parish Sheriff’s deputy was killed Monday morning after being struck by a train while performing a traffic assignment, according to the sheriff’s office.
The department identified the victim as Deputy Tim Jordan, a four-year veteran of the Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office. Officials said the incident occurred around 8:00 a.m., when Jordan’s vehicle was hit by a train during the course of his duties. Preliminary findings indicate he may have misjudged the distance between his vehicle and the tracks.
According to the sheriff’s office, Jordan was transported to Ochsner LSU Hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
Sheriff Julian Whittington described the day as “an extremely difficult one” for the department, calling Jordan a “dedicated public servant who took pride in protecting the citizens of Bossier Parish.”
The Louisiana State Police are leading the investigation into the fatal incident. Authorities have asked the public to keep Deputy Jordan’s family, friends, and fellow deputies in their prayers during this time.
Additional details will be released as the investigation continues.
