13 Stars Who Had a Close Call with Death

13. Stephen King

The best-selling author claims his close call with death occurred back in 1999. King says that during an afternoon walk near his summer home in North Lovell, Maine he was struck by a van. King suffered a collapsed right lung, multiple fractures, scalp lacerations, a broken hip and nearly lost his leg. The driver, who claims he was distracted by his dog when he veered off the road, received a six-month suspended jail sentence. King says he used his experience in a number of his novels, including Misery, Lisey’s Story, Duma Key, and in an entry of the Dark Tower series.
