UFC vet John Dodson says, ‘We’re just lucky no one died’ after devastating car wreck

UFC veteran, and former flyweight title challenger, John Dodson and his family are OK after a terrifying ordeal on a Texas highway last night.

According to Dodson, he and his family hit an immobilized vehicle that was stranded in the road—with no lights on—after it had hit an 18-wheeler. Dodson’s car rolled over and sustained a great deal of damage. However, Dodson and his family escaped that wreck without any serious injuries.

Dodson’s manager Ricky Kottenstette posted an image of Dodson’s vehicle, which was totalled in the crash, on Instagram. Kottenstatte also set-up a gofundme campaign for financial assistance on behalf of the Dodson family.
