A driver on Highway 350 Thursday morning is miraculously alive after colliding with a log truck.
According to Deputy Sheriff Ryan Glover, the driver was eastbound on Highway 350 at about 7:30 a.m. Thursday when she collided with a log truck that had just entered the highway from the road near Fairview Church. The angle of the sun at that time effectively blinded her and she likely hit the loaded truck at full speed, it appeared, said Glover.
Logs extending from the back of the truck went all the way through her windshield through the back window, and she survived because two went on either side of her head. Her car hit so hard it damaged the bumper of the log truck.
The driver, a Ms. Goodman, was taken from the scene by ambulance, with injuries to her shoulder, Glover reported. The truck driver was unhurt.
