But the mind that creat ed best sellers like “Carrie,” “The Shining,” and “Pet Sematary” is intact, Stephen King’s office said Monday. King, who underwent surgery Monday, faces major rehabilitation over the next year. In addition to fractures of his right leg, King suffered a broken hip, a collapsed lung and a cut on his scalp. His office took care to note his serious injuries were from the shoulders down. “Mr. King’s mental state is great,” his office said in a state ment. The best-selling horror writer re mains in serious condition at Cen tral Maine Medical Center. King, 51, was thrown 14 feet when he was hit from behind Sat urday afternoon by a minivan as he walked along the shoulder of a road in rural Lovell, where he owns a summer home. The driver, Bryan Smith, 41, lost control after being distracted by his dog, which was loose inside the minivan. Smith was not speed ing and stopped immediately, sheriff’s Deputy Matt Baker said. “There’s nothing to charge him with,” Baker said. “He wasn’t be ing reckless. He was just dis tracted.” Baker said he does not know of any state law requiring pets to be secured in a moving vehicle. He noted that King, technically, was violating the law by walking in the same direction as traffic. The hospital has been deluged with calls and e-mail messages from King’s fans all over the world. Several jokingly gave thanks that King was not found by Anne Wilkes, a character in his book “Misery.” Wilkes finds, kidnaps and tortures her favorite author af ter he gets into an auto wreck. 4 Bed rooms You 4 Bathrooms 4 s 404 Per Person Furnished Your OWN private bedroom/bathroom suite • Furnished or unfurnished • Roommate matching • No utility deposits • Rent includes local phone and cable • FREE 24-hour monitored intrusion alarm • Gated entrance with fully fenced perimeter • State-of-the-art keyless lock system • Individual lock and key for each bedroom • Resort-style swimming pool • Lighted tennis and basketball courts • Fitness center • Computer lab RPRRTMENTir 601 Luther Street West 680-3680 (South on Wellborn Rd., Right on George Bush, Left on Marion Pugh, Right on Luther) Bring this Ad to PAY NO APPLICATION FEE • Offer expires June 30, 1999 They're conning!
