\u00c2 Snopes posts these survival pics with the caption “I Bet This Guy Will Be In Church On Sunday”. He’s definately a lucky guy. This story was reported back in January 2007 and verified by Snopes in May 2007, but just hit CNN news recently.<\/p>\n

When I get those cute fluffy stories emailed to me it’s automatic that I check the urban legend websites for verification. 99% of the time the story is not true; someone made it up as a feel good anecdote. But this one so far has been researched and marked as true by skeptic websites like Snopes.com – check out details here: http:\/\/www.snopes.com\/photos\/accident\/culvert.asp<\/a><\/p>\n

And further verification can be found at CNN.com here:

\u00c2 EXCERPT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

So stunning are the photos on the myth-buster sites that many people posting comments allege the pictures have been altered with Adobe Photoshop.<\/p>\n

Not so, say the local police.<\/p>\n

After crashing through the barricade, the truck slammed into a concrete drainage culvert on the canyon side of the guardrail. The force of the impact propelled the pickup truck into the air, spinning it 180 degrees counter-clockwise along a guardrail.<\/p>\n

“When it hit, it flipped end over end and cleared the culvert,” Hurricane Police Chief Lynn Excell said, explaining how the truck sailed over the watercourse, a distance of about 20 feet. “How that happened I don’t know.” <\/em><\/p>\n
