A video circulating on social media shows an Acadian Ambulance driving onto the track at Evangeline Downs Racetrack and Casino during an active horse race, prompting serious safety concerns. The footage captures eight jockeys racing when the ambulance suddenly enters their path, forcing one jockey to steer away to avoid a collision. Both Acadian Ambulance and Evangeline Downs are investigating the incident to understand how the vehicle entered the track during the race and to review safety protocols.

Acadian Ambulance confirmed the ambulance was repositioning on the track while a race was in progress but reported no injuries. They are working with Evangeline Downs officials to strengthen communication and procedures to prevent future occurrences. Evangeline Downs emphasized their commitment to jockey and horse safety and are collaborating with the ambulance company and the Louisiana Racing Commission on a thorough investigation. Further updates are pending as more information becomes available.
