A Shelby County deputy reported losing control of a patrol vehicle during a rainy, foggy commute on Highway 280 after another vehicle allegedly swerved into the deputy’s path, according to WBRC.

The deputy said the maneuver caused an emergency braking response and the patrol vehicle hydroplaned into a roadside ditch. Authorities accused the other driver, identified as Kennys Alvarez, of conduct that endangered road users.

WBRC reported charges including reckless endangerment, reckless driving, and several traffic violations. Those are accusations and citations subject to legal proceedings; the reporting does not establish that Alvarez was convicted.
