Millcreek • Like too many drivers on summer road trips, Chris Draper didn’t get much sleep before he left on an overnight journey through central Nevada toward Utah. About dawn, he was drowsy.
“I had the air conditioning blasting at me,” he remembers. His head nodded and startled him, “but I said, ‘I can keep going. I’m OK,’” and slapped himself in the face and turned up the radio.
The next think he remembers is waking up as a nearby truck blared its horn as Draper was off the road and headed for a wall.
