Cameron Amazingly Survived ‘Internal Decapitation’ After Wreck; Now In College Ready To Help Others

By Richard Hunt In 2007, Cameron Smyly, along with his brother and sister, were being driven to school by his mother in the Mississippi Delta region. At a stop sign, they bowed their heads to say a prayer for the day. Just then, a truck rammed the car. That moment changed his life trajectory forever. Cameron, just a first-grader, had his skull literally separated from his spine, an injury that is often fatal or leads to permanent disability. But today, Cameron is walking, doing workouts, and once he graduates from Mississippi College, he plans to help others with their physical fitness.
