WAYNESVILLE — A Hortense man says he’s “lucky to still be here” after his car hit a semitrailer stretched across two lanes of eastbound traffic early.

Scott Duckworth, 61, is doing physical therapy since the early morning December 2 accident on Hwy. 82.

“I am so thankful,” said Duckworth, who suffered injuries when his 1996 Toyota Camry hit the rear tires of a trailer being backed into a side road by a 2007 Kenworth driven by Cruz Saenz, 50, of Locust Grove, Ga.
