Your answer was: Hit By a Truck
You are correct!!
Answer: On February 29, 1944, (Leap Year) Karol Wojtyła, the future Pope John Paul II, was walking home from work at the quarry when he was knocked down by a German truck. The German officers tended the injured Wojtyła, and the decision to commandeer a passing truck for use as an ambulance for the unconscious patient, is in sharp contrast to the harshness normally expected from occupying forces during that period. He spent two weeks hospitalized, having suffered a severe concussion, numerous cuts and a shoulder injury. This accident and his survival seemed to Wojtyła a confirmation of his priestly vocation.
