Trucker's Story - USA - Wreck victim credits truck driver with saving his life
Without the help of an observant truck driver, Steve Cox says he probably wouldn’t be alive today
PELL CITY,Alabama David Atchison 11-02-2005: -- In the early morning hours of Monday, Sept. 12, Cox fell asleep at the wheel of his car. The next thing he remembered was waking up to find that he was injured inside his wrecked vehicle, which was stopped by a tree down a steep embankment... He lay bleeding inside his wrecked vehicle near the bottom of a steep ravine off U.S. 231 until Chres Sorensen of Pell City drove by and happened to notice lights in an area of thick woods where normally there were no lights... Cox tried to draw the attention of passing motorists by blowing his horn and screaming. It was no use, and Cox, 38, lay bleeding in the dark, unable to move because of his injuries... Sorensen, who owns and operates an 18-wheeler, said he was driving along U.S. 231 that morning when he caught a glimpse of lights glowing in the woods... Something told him to stop his rig and investigate... Sorensen eventually spotted Cox’s vehicle and said the only reason he saw the light from the road is that he was sitting higher off the road, because he was in a big truck... Cox was transported to University Hospitals in Birmingham, where he remained for six days... Sorensen said he was glad he could help, but he doesn’t consider himself a hero...
