Transcript from ‘My Near DEATH Experience’ podcast

Jeff – There were reports of crosswinds and there was reports of a red truck driving erratically on the on the interstate. What happened though, is I dozed off at the wheel. I think I just nodded off and I swerved to the right, then I over corrected to the left. I lost control of the car and the car began to roll not off the road, but down the road at about 75 miles per hour. I’m not sure what that is in the metric system but it’s fast.

It was a high speed rollover and I blacked out for most of the crash. When the car came to a stop, I was very conscious and very alert. The first thing I heard was my seven-year-old son crying hysterically in the back seat. As a father I thought I’ve got to get to my boy and that’s when I realized that I could not move. I was pinned down, I was struggling to breathe and there was the rancid smell of gasoline.
