Erik Spurling
Sr. Director, Relationship Management
National Safety Council


On May 1st, 2012, my life changed in a profound way. I was on a routine business trip traveling through Lexington, Kentucky when a driver who was busy texting swerved across three lanes of traffic, flipping her car 360 degrees in the air and hitting the car I was riding in head-on. The accident closed down the highway for several hours as the EMT’s extracted and transported the driver and myself from the car. I was very lucky to live through the catastrophic crash; the doctors didn’t expect me to survive. I was rushed into emergency surgery and then again later that evening to deal with complications from the initial procedure. What followed were months and months of rehabilitation and two years of missed work before things return to a “new normal.” Erik Spurling is the Director of Field Sales for the National Safety Council.
