Heart attack: Accident witnesses help ambulance personnel
carry the driver of a pickup truck to the back of an ambulance Tuesday
morning on I-40 near the Munoz overpass. Initial reports indicated
the driver may have suffered a heart attack and lost control of
his truck, crossed I-40 and crashed through a fence before he came
to a stop several hundred feet from the highway. Jim Myers, a driver
from Colorado, said he narrowly missed being hit by the out-of-control
truck that was airborne at one point during the accident. [Photo
