Do you think this guy has a lucky star? A guy was saved by crashing his car Friday. He was driving on I-40 near Hickory when he began to choke on the food he was eating.
Just as he was passing out, his pickup crossed the median and got hit by a truck. The impact dislodged the food in his throat, allowing him to breathe. He crawled out of the wreck with just minor scratches, even though he wasn’t wearing his seatbelt.
I figure he cheated death at least three times during that sequence of events. If I had been the trooper who charged him with reckless driving (he was eating, after all), I’d have been careful not to stand too close to him for fear of a lightning strike or meteor falling out of the sky or something.
