Rogers says he and his son were inside the food truck when his son yelled at him, saying there was a vehicle coming toward them, full speed.

"I tried to run to the back of the vehicle and get out and as I ran to the back of the truck to get out... I was struck by the other vehicle," said Rogers.

Rogers says his son made it out, only suffering minor injuries, but now his family is out of a business.

"It was unreal, it was like a movie, there's no way I'm sitting here eye to eye with this truck" said Rogers. "In my mind, I'm like this can't be real."

Rogers says he's thankful for the community's prayers and the food truck owners who rallied behind him to tell his story.
