“It was a blur. It was crazy. I don’t know how I’m alive,” Patrick told KCAL/KCBS.

“I had just unbuckled my seat belt — it was unbuckled for five seconds,” Patrick told KTLA. “I noticed my wife had dozed off ... we are headed toward the median and I tried to grab the steering wheel, but before I could grab the steering wheel, we already had impact.”

The impact of the crash threw Patrick out of the driver-side window and over the center median wall. The dashcam from another vehicle showed Patrick ending up on the other side of the freeway and a car narrowly missing him as he pulled himself up on the highway divider.

Patrick suffered multiple broken bones, including a dislocated shoulder, and road rash covering about 60 percent of his body.
