A South Carolina 25-year-old father, Paul Pattison was horribly injured in front of his three young sons, when his jeep ran him over.

The father of three was trying to jump start his jeep with a screwdriver by touching the solenoids together. It was not the first time Paul had attempted to jump start his jeep this way, something a friend says he has done hundreds of times. The one problem this time was that he forgot to put the jeep in park when he attempted to start it. 

According to WCSC  his vehicle was broken down in the middle of the road and he was trying to get it out of the road as quickly possible. The jeep ran over his chest, and head causing severe trauma. Currently a friend has  has setup a trust fund for Pattison’s wife and three sons at Suntrust under the name Jessica Cox.
