Scott was under the car, pinned down and his chest crushed, after it fell off the jack. As she pulled into the garage and got out of her car, she heard him shouting for help.

While he was fixing their Ford Explorer, it suddenly fell off the jack crashing down on his body. Realizing no one could hear him shouting for help after about an hour and a half, he said that he had prayed for his wife to come home from work that Monday.
Despite the obvious pain he was suffering, Nicole said that her husband tried to keep things calm.
"When I came in he knew I was panicking and he just slowly said, 'I'm OK,' but I knew he was in a lot of pain," she said in an interview with KSTU-TV. She admitted that his situation and difficulty in breathing freaked her out but he calmly asked her to call 911. Before the rescue, a neighbor was able to reset the jack, lifting the vehicle off.
"I believe that... there's angels around us and my religion, my Heavenly Father was with him," she said, grateful for that instinct bug. Scott was airlifted with six broken ribs, and the doctors said that he was saved before an internal bleeding occur. He is expected to make a recovery.
