I was literally standing on top of it. I just hit the pole and wrapped the front end of my truck around it, and that was it.”
But that wasn’t it. “I remember hitting the steering wheel,” Hillary Dixon Hall’s son Tyson says. “It felt like someone had taken a baseball bat and hit me on the [right] side of my face.
