Corpus Christi police officers joined in on the viral "Dreams" Challenge, encouraging others to drive, skate and ride safely.

The department shared a video on Twitter of an officer recording himself drinking out of a bottle of cranberry juice and riding a bike as "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac plays in the background.

Not watching the road, the officer falls off the bike and spills his cranberry juice in the process. 

"Safety first!," the video said. "Whether you are in a car, on your skateboard, or on a bike, stay off your phone and pay attention!"

The viral video has more than 25 million views on TikTok.
