You're remembering correctly. That's how the first character dies in Dreamcatcher. Stephen King was recovering from a car accident and was on oxy when he wrote the book if that helps explain anything.

Thanks. With being so young when I saw the scene I wasn't sure if I just imagined parts of it.

"Car accident" is putting it mildly. He was walking down the road and a van slammed into him at full speed. He apparently went completely over the van and into a ditch. It's amazing he's still alive.
