In the early morning hours of Nov. 26, 2007, a pickup truck traveling
westbound on Interstate 10 in the Florida Panhandle hydroplaned off the
road. It spun 180 degrees and traveled backward down a steep embankment
into a tree line. The vehicle came to a violent stop after hitting a
tree on the passenger side. Insurance estimates considered the accident
a total loss. Police and rescue workers who arrived on the scene within
10 minutes did not think it was possible for anyone to survive a crash
like this.
