*20 June 1999*
Horror novelist Stephen King, one of America's best selling authors, was recovering in hospital yesterday with a broken leg, hip and a punctured lung after being hit by a car near his home in Maine. King underwent several hours of surgery early yesterday morning and was later said by doctors to be alert and comfortable. He sustained no head or serious internal injury. The 51-year-old writer was walking near his summer home west of Portland in Maine on Saturday afternoon when he was struck from behind. The motorist was distracted by a dog in his vehicle and lost control, police said, adding that there was no indication the man was speeding or under the influence of alcohol. No charges had been filed. King was thrown nearly 14 feet by the impact and was picked up from the side of the road in a scene reminiscent of the plot of one of his own best sellers. *27 Sept 2000* THE driver whose van struck and nearly killed the horror writer Stephen King last year has been found dead at his home after telling friends that he could not face another winter. Bryan Smith, 43, had become increasingly isolated after the accident near North Lovell, Maine, in which King suffered multiple injuries and nearly lost a leg. The author of Carrie and The Shining had pushed for Mr Smith to be charged with aggravated assault, which could have led to a jail sentence, and mocked him in a New Yorker article as "a character out of one of my own novels". Mr Smith, who had been left disabled by a building site accident, received a suspended sentence and lost his driving licence. A post mortem examination found no signs of violence. King said yesterday that he was "very sorry to hear of the passing of Bryan Smith". He said: "The death of a 43-year-old man can only be termed untimely." |
