Camryn Smith's Story

On 0ctober 28, 2015 Camryn Smith got in a pretty serious accident. I was talking to him after it happened, and this is his story. He said he was driving home from Bradford Woods and it was raining outside. He was on State Road 39. The road was a little wet, so he wasn't going too fast. He told me that he was coming on to a turn, and he started to slow down because of the road conditions. After that it went downhill; he said that he hit a pothole and lost control of the back end of his truck. He started to slide across the road right toward the tree. He said it felt like slow motion. He could see the tree coming closer and closer. He tried to jerk his truck the other way but failed; he hit the tree and wrapped around it. Camryn looked up and saw the tree to his left and shattered glass on his lap. The EMT showed up shortly after and cut him out of the truck. He had a few cuts on his head and a sore hip. He thanks God that he is alive and went on with his day. Staff Reporter Garrison Lee
