Truck lands on woman
Passersby help husband, wife after accident

RED LICK —
Amanda Parker of Berea was listed in fair condition Monday afternoon at the University of Kentucky Medical Center after she was ejected from a vehicle that crashed on Red Lick Road around midday Sunday.
She suffered a broken clavicle (shoulder blade) and other injuries after the 1988 Chevy S-10 pickup truck driven by her husband, Shannon Parker, came to rest on her body, according to a Kentucky State Police report.
Amanda Parker was flown by helicopter to the Lexington hospital.
Shannon Parker also was ejected from the vehicle. He was transported by the Madison County Ambulance Service to St. Joseph Hospital-Berea, where he was treated in the emergency room.
Safety restrains were not in use, according to the report filed by KSP Trooper Robert Purdy.
Purdy wrote that the vehicle was traveling east at 11:25 a.m. when it dropped off the road’s right shoulder.
“The driver overcorrected and lost control. The vehicle then crossed into the westbound lane, left the roadway and overturned several times,” according to the report.
Jamie Neal of Richmond said he, his two sons, Benjamin, 15, and Christian, 13, and Timothy Reardon were driving after church from Berea to his mother’s home in Irvine when Shannon Parker flagged them down.
“His face was bloody, and we knew there had been a serious accident,” Neal said. “My sons and I, along with Mr. Reardon, helped Mr. Parker pull the truck off of his wife. They kept the truck from falling on her again as I performed cardiopulmonary respiration and Mr. Parker performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation for about 15 minutes until firefighters and the ambulance arrived.”
Another passerby who arrived later went to a nearby residence to call 911.
“Several of us had cell phones, but none of them could pick up a signal,” Neal said.
“We were late leaving church, and I was worried about being late for Sunday dinner at my mother’s house,” said Neal, who teaches seventh-grade science at Estill County Middle School.
“I think we were late for a reason,” he said. “If we had not been there when we were, I don’t know if Mrs. Parker would have survived.”
Neal said he had received CPR training through the school system several years ago.
“It had been a while since I had the training, but it all came back to me,” he said. “I don’t know how three men and two boys were able to lift that truck. Adrenaline must have helped us.”
