Reported dead 36 years ago, meet the 82-year-old still hard at work | Amazing Aus | ABC Australia

Just after sunset on a rainy evening in 1984, Richard Spark was driving to a meeting when he ran into the back of a truck. The accident was so bad he was reported to have died, he broke both legs and suffered multiple other injuries. His ‘death’ was reported in a newspaper, but Richard survived to tell his remarkable tale.
