Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal was involved in a car accident on Sunday. Jindal was re-elected to a second term as governor in 2011. The Republican leader is married and the father of three young children. 

He was on the way home from his son's soccer game around 5 p.m. CDT on Louisiana Highway 30, south of downtown Baton Rouge, when a truck made an illegal U-turn in front of his car. Two police vehicles were northbound on the state highway in the inside lane when the truck made the illegal turn from the outside lane.

The truck side swiped the first vehicle, which was carrying the governor. The second vehicle "took evasive action" and hit a utility pole, said a statement from state police.

A trooper in that second vehicle sustained minor injuries, but, luckily Jindal went unharmed. The driver of the truck was cited for making an improper turn.

"The governor did not sustain any injuries, and he is thankful for the work of the Louisiana State Police who keep him and his family safe every day," Lansing said.
