“I heard somebody screaming ‘Help, help, help!’” witness Cindy Morton told an OnScene.TV photographer. “And I came out on my patio and he’s still screaming help, and I said I’m coming, ran down, came out here and found the man underneath the car. He was trapped. He said he can’t breathe, lift the car, so I called 911.”

Morton said officers thought the suspect was stealing a catalytic converter from the car that caused the jack to slip, but police didn’t confirm it. However, SDPD did say the man would be charged for vandalism once he is discharged from the hospital.
