He had broken all the bones in both of his legs, had a collapsed lung, developed multiple infections, and it was unknown whether he would ever walk again. He was rushed to intensive care, where he woke up two weeks later. He was knocked unconscious, suffered acute shock and fell into a coma.
He went under the first two wheels of the 42-ton truck and slid 500 feet. After he waited for three cement trucks to pass, a fourth truck, previously blocked by opposing traffic, struck him while he was in the street. In June 1995 when he was 11, Devine was walking his bicycle across a road in Omaha. He later moved to Los Angeles, where he began working as a stand-up comedian and actor. He attended Orange Coast College, along with friend and future co-star Blake Anderson. He was raised in Omaha, Nebraska, and graduated from Millard South High School in 2002.
Devine was born in Waterloo, Iowa, the son of Dennis and Penny Devine.
