As the back end of the car rose into the air, the car rolled forward again and crashed back onto Noorthoek.

Desperate now, Jason pulled the forklift’s lever once more. Again, the Buick started to come off the ground, but this time, for whatever reason, the front tires didn’t roll and the car remained suspended in the air.

Minutes later, Township’s fire chief, Mike Rexford, arrived. Noorthoek lay under the car, ashen but breathing. His internal injuries were minor, but, according to Rexford, his situation was perilous.

«The outcome’s never been this good,» he now says. «How long could he have lasted like that?»

It wasn’t until his dad was loaded into an ambulance that the magnitude of the night’s events caught up with Jason. «I told him he probably saved his father,» says Rexford. Jason broke down and started to sob.

His father was released from the hospital early the next morning. «I didn’t stop shaking until I got home,» Noorthoek says. Jason says one happy change has come out of the accident: he gets to spend more time with his dad.

Jason Sr., who hasn’t touched a car since the Buick fell on him, often spends evenings with Jason playing video games.
