It’s not an uncommon occurrence. A person goes for what was supposed to be a routine trip to the store, something unexpected happens, and the vehicle swerves out of control. Often, the story ends as the driver regains command and rides off into the sunset, narrowly escaping fate. Other times, much like this one, fate grabs hold of the handlebars.
Ontario resident Eric “Rick” Sorenson, unfortunately, became a statistic recently, as his particular incident led to a tumble down a 4.5-meter (that's 15-ish feet for Americans) embankment off the side of the highway, where he found himself trapped–but thankfully alive–under his ATV.
Over ten hours went by. The South Frontenac man chose to conserve his energy, knowing he’d be without food or water for an unforeseen amount of time. Worse yet, the day of the crash wasn’t cold, but oppressively hot—like 104 degrees Fahrenheit—and Sorenson quickly became severely dehydrated.
