when he was 11, DeVine was walking his bicycle across a road in Omaha.
After he waited for three cement trucks to pass, a fourth truck,
previously blocked by opposing traffic struck him while he was in the
street. He went under the first two wheels of the 42-ton truck and
slid 500 feet. He was knocked unconscious, suffered acute shock and
fell into a coma. He was rushed to intensive care, where he woke up
two weeks later. He had broken all the bones in both of his legs, had
a collapsed lung, developed multiple infections, and it was unknown
whether he would ever walk again. Over several years, he had 26
surgeries and spent much of the time in a wheelchair. Due to the
extent of his injuries, DeVine was at very high risk of having to have
his legs amputated, and having multiple organ failure. It was later
discovered that the reason he was not killed was because his bicycle
took the full force of the truck.
