\t\t\t \"passengersideimpact.jpg\"<\/a>The investigative officer at the scene said he had seen cars wrap around concrete pillars the way Ken’s truck was Sunday night, but he had never seen anyone survive such a crash.<\/p>\n

Kenneth Faulkner is a first. The officer told Kenneth he needed to go to church on Monday.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t <\/a>Kenneth had just merged onto Westbound 19th Street in Lubbock at West Loop 289 when his pickup truck was struck from behind by a speeding Chevrolet Camaro. The impact sent Kenneth’s pickup spinning out of control under the Loop overpass about 9:55 p.m. Easter Sunday.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t \"driversside.jpg\"<\/a>The pickup grazed two overpass support pillars before wrapping around a third one. The green Camaro, though damaged, drove away from the scene. Witnesses at the scene got the license number of the Camaro and police report the 21-year-old driver was escorted by his mother into the police station Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kenneth, smelling gasoline all around him (he had just filled his tank), managed to extricate himself from the wreck, walk a few feet away, call 9-1-1 and catch an ambulance to Covenant Hospital.<\/p>\n

After a few hours of poking, prodding, jabbing, x-rays, CT scans and other testing, doctors gave Kenneth the option of spending the night in the hospital or going home. He had no broken bones, apparently no internal bleeding.<\/p>\n

He spent Monday recuperating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
