Legendary film maker George Lucas, popularly known for his creation of the enormously successful ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Indiana Jones’ film franchises, narrowly escaped death. What many don’t know about Lucas is that during his high school years, not long after receiving his license, he was involved in a terrible car accident that almost resulted in the loss of his life. The accident happened when another vehicle was speeding at him and hit the side of the vehicle he was driving at the time. Lucas’ vehicle flipped several times upon impact, which left him with several broken ribs that could have punctured his lungs and killed him. Miraculously, he survived without any lung injury and was able to share his story with others.

The popular rapper and producer miraculously escaped death when he fell asleep behind the wheel of a car. West spent several days in the hospital following his accident and had to have multiple surgeries to reconstruct his broken jaw. While the extent of his injuries were limited to his face, he endured more pain and had an extremely long recovery time than most would due to bodily injuries. However, he didn’t let his accident stop him from working. Following on his last surgeries, with his jaw wired shut to maintain the placement of his jaw, he released his introduction single “Through the Wire,” where he rapped in detail about the life-changing experience.
