LAS VEGAS (October 28, 2009) - Ryan McConnel was involved in a near-fatal automobile accident Tuesday outside of Colgate, Okla.
At approximately 5 p.m., the 22-year-old was traveling on a rural state highway when an apparent drunk driver signaled to make a right-hand turn. As McConnel began passing to the left of the car, it made a sudden and unexpected turn that ultimately lodged the car underneath McConnel’s truck behind the front passenger tire.
“As soon as I got sideways in the road, it flipped five or six times,” said McConnel, who was conscious throughout the entire accident.
McConnel, who was wearing a seatbelt, was transported to a local hospital where he remained until being released early Wednesday morning.
In an interview Wednesday evening, McConnel vividly recalled the details of the accident.
