Former ESPN Sportscaster Survives Ejection from RV on Busy Freeway

Cordell Patrick Sustains Multiple Injuries, Credits 'Divine Intervention' for Survival

Former ESPN sportscaster Cordell Patrick was ejected from his RV onto a busy California freeway after his wife fell asleep at the wheel.
Patrick had just unbuckled his seatbelt to use the restroom when the RV swerved into the median, causing him to be thrown from the vehicle.
Despite suffering multiple broken bones, a dislocated shoulder, and road rash covering about 60% of his body, Patrick remained conscious and managed to drag himself out of the traffic lanes.
A passing motorist, Alf Smithey, stopped to assist Patrick, keeping cars away from him until help arrived.
Patrick credits his survival to 'divine intervention' and plans to use the incident as a catalyst for positive change.
