On June 19, 1999, Stephen King had taken his son to the airport and decided to take a walk before he, his wife, and his two other children were to leave to go see a movie. While walking on the side of the road, Stephen King was walking up a blind hill when a blue Dodge van came barreling over the hill. Stephen King was hit, fracturing several bones in his legs, ribs, and spine, as well has cutting his collar bone and head.
