Remarkable story of survival

As Julian McCormick recalls it, he lay in and out of consciousness for eight days and seven nights, hot, sticky and bloody with not a clue as to what day it was or how he ended up trapped in his overturned car at the bottom of a steep embankment in Prince George's County.

To survive, he ate a fish he caught with his hands and used his high-top sneaker to drink water from the creek, the 18-year-old Bowie State University student told his parents.

When he finally was able to muster the strength, he cut his seat belt using a small knife he had in his car, forced his door open and then dragged himself by his elbows, his body racked with pain, 30 feet up to the shoulder of the road hoping that someone would see him and rescue him. Someone did.

The weird thing is, he was so close to a major road the whole time: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/graphic/2007/09/11/GR2007091100307.html

The most mysterious thing to me is, wtf was he doing on that road? Having gone from exactly where he was to where he was going thousands of times in my life, that road isn't at all on the list of routes to get there. I'm somewhat skeptical to all this, based on the area and based on people I've talked to.

It is a hell of a story. I just don't totally believe it.

I thought this would be a story about someone making it to the end of a JDV video.
