6/17/81 Pickup Truck Saves Man from Lethal Rock

Sagemont Resident Ron Ledgerwood said he never saw the large chunk of rock coming at him as he rode down the Gulf Freeway June 9 between NASA and Ellington. The impact of the rock, which is thought to be a chunk of the freeway surface, left a hole in his truck window, cut his steering wheel, and left Ledgerwood injured in the chest. After blacking out briefly, Ledgerwood got medical attention. There were no broken bones; however, if he had been driving in a car instead of a pick-up, the rock could have struck him in the head. 

In other news, the average age of a South Belt resident in 1981 was 37, with a median income of $37K, 85% married, and 30% college graduates.
