This Monday,  Rick Uvaney, a trucker, survived a freeway accident with relatively few injuries after being struck by a SUV in Canton, Ohio.   Moments before, Uvaney pulled to the side of the road to secure his load when a gust of wind blew his favorite baseball cap into the median.  Uvaney was struck by the SUF during his attempt to retrieve his cap.  Luckily, he escaped with only a broken wrist and dislocated shoulder.     Uvaney’s experience is a good reminder of an old lesson:  look both ways before crossing.
