Youngsville chief back at work following Sunday crash

Posted

Chief Rickey Boudreaux was back in the office Wednesday, just as he said he would be because “you can’t hurt Superman.”

Youngsville Mayor Ken Ritter took a snap of Boudreaux decked out in his supports early Wednesday morning, standing tall, with a smile on his face.

“Back at it first thing this morning. I couldn’t keep him away even though I tried to have this meeting without him,” Ritter said in the post.

Boudreaux spoke with KATC on Monday following a crash that left his back fractured. He told reporter Justice Henderson that he would be back to work on Wednesday and through the week but only a few hours.

He will undergo surgery.

The crash occurred on Sunday in Church Point when Boudreaux was headed to a Mardi Gras parade to assist.

“I’m going to be fine, I’m going to recover, I heal quickly. I’m going to listen to what the doctors say for the most part, and I want to go back to work,” Boudreaux told KATC.
