He Survived a Near-Death Experience
Trebek nearly met his maker in 2004. While driving back to his family home in Lake Nacimiento, Trebek fell asleep behind the hweel of his pick-up truck. According to reports, Trebek's vehicle plummeted 45 feet over an embankment and hit a utility pole, landing in a ditch. Fortunately, Trebek managed to walk away from the accident without serious injuries.
"I am very lucky and thankful that no one was badly hurt," he said. "My back hurts a little, but I plan to be in the studio this Tuesday for our regular tapings."
