A sheriff’s office in Wisconsin is reminding drivers to go slow in winter weather after dashcam video captured a deputy almost being hit by an “out-of-control” car skidding on a snowy road.

The Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office released the video on Tuesday, though did not specify when the incident occurred, only that it was during a “recent storm.”

In the video, the deputy, Jason Fabry, is seen walking towards the highway after authorities say he had been assisting a motorist who slid into the ditch.

The vehicle’s driver then appears to regain control of the car and continues driving.

“This video serves as a great example of people driving too fast for conditions and putting the life of a deputy at great risk,” the sheriff’s office wrote in a Facebook post.

According to authorities, neither the sheriff’s deputy nor the driver of the vehicle was injured.
