On a seemingly ordinary day, Cordell Patrick, a former ESPN sportscaster, found himself in a shocking and terrifying situation. He was traveling on a California freeway in his RV with his wife and their beloved beagle when suddenly, the vehicle veered off course and drove over the center median. The force of the impact caused Patrick to be ejected from the RV, through the front windshield, and onto the opposite side of the 14 freeway.
Fortunately, a nearby dashboard camera captured the entire incident, showing Patrick rolling over several times on the street before coming to a stop. It was a terrifying ordeal, but Patrick was grateful to have survived. He and his wife were on their way home from a camping trip in Menifee when the accident occurred. Patrick had only unbuckled his seatbelt to use the bathroom in the RV before the unexpected crash.
In an interview with KTLA, Patrick recounted the harrowing experience, saying, "So instead of going straight, we were headed towards the median. I tried grabbing the steering wheel, but before I could, we already had an impact." Despite being thrown from the vehicle, Patrick was fortunate to escape with his life. He was hospitalized for his injuries, but his wife and their beagle were unharmed.
Reflecting on the incident, Patrick believes it was nothing short of divine intervention that saved his life. He shared, "It was divine intervention. If you didn't think there was a higher power before this, I'm a living witness and I've got a living testimony to tell." However, he did not escape unscathed. According to KTLA, Patrick suffered several broken bones, a head injury, and road rash on over 50% of his body. He remembers the fear he felt while flying out of the RV and onto one of the busiest freeways in LA County, thinking he would be hit by another car.
Patrick credits his survival to the grace of God, saying, "I do know how I am alive, by the grace of God. That was divine intervention and nothing else." Even in the midst of his own traumatic experience, Patrick's main concern was his wife's well-being. A passerby who stopped to help him shared, "His biggest concern was, 'How was my wife?' I was like, 'You're the one who flew out of the vehicle.' He was more concerned about her."
Despite the physical and emotional toll of the accident, Patrick remains grateful for his life and is determined to share his story as a testament to the power of faith and a reminder to always cherish loved ones. This incident serves as a reminder that life is unpredictable and precious, and we should never take it for granted.
