In 1999, King was hit by a car near his summer home in Maine. The accident left King severely injured with a collapsed lung, numerous fractions to his hip and leg, and a deep cut on his head.

As a way of finding some closure after the accident, King and his lawyer bought the exact van from the person that had hit King for just $1,500. King had big plans to destroy it himself. He announced, "Yes, we've got the van, and I'm going to take a sledgehammer and beat it!"
