Photo Gallery: Resident's View of Truck's Pool Crash

Kurt Smith was getting ready to jump into the pool in the Bridgestone Farms subdivision in Johns Creek when an AT&T truck, whose driver had went into an apparent diabetic coma, .

The truck narrowly missed Smith, his children and other children in the pool. 

"God worked a miracle today," Smith said. "Deb, Aaron, Brandon and Alayna were in the neighborhood pool along with four other kids. Three small children had just gotten out. I was standing up to get in the pool when an AT&T pickup came crashing through the trees and the fence and into the pool at 35 mph! It went right over a 7-year-old boy named Ivan, missed Aaron and Brandon by two feet and Alayna by three feet. No one was hurt. I have lived 48 years and believed in miracles all my life. Today I saw one."
