Matthew Wilkinson engaged his teenage son to help him work on the brakes on his truck. Working on the vehicle was something they’d done together many times before. But this time, the rotor was stuck. “I couldn’t get a good angle, so I slid my body underneath the truck and was hitting it. The second it popped off, the truck fell. I know it rolled forward because I saw it roll forward and it fell right on top of me. All I could think about was the breath coming out of me. I was just squished. I couldn’t talk. I couldn’t yell,” Wilkinson said of the accident. The accident left him with a punctured lung, broken ribs, and a separated shoulder. Surveillance camera footage revealed that it was his son who lifted the vehicle enough for Wilkinson to roll out from under the truck. “My son is my hero. He saved my life,” Wilkinson.
