January car accident left 22-year-old Brock Meister's head, part of spine completely separated from neck.
SOUTH BEND, IN (CBS Local) – An Indiana car accident victim has miraculously survived a shocking injury that even his doctors say almost always results in death. After extensive neurosurgery and months of therapy, 22-year-old Brock Meister has recovered from being internally decapitated. “I feel really lucky. It still goes through my mind everyday how lucky I am,” Meister told Inside Edition.
On Jan. 12, Meister and his friends were in an accident after their vehicle slid on black ice and went into a ditch. “I remember everything. My head went through the window. I had my seatbelt on, but half my body was out the window.” The 22-year-old’s head and a portion of the spine which connects to his skull, had been completely separated from the rest of Meister’s neck.
