Now, the public is throwing their support behind Scull to help he and his family as he recovers from the crash.

"Nick is the main source of income for his wife and two young children," a GoFundMe page set up to help him and his family reads. "Since he has a long road to recover before getting back to work, he and his family need your help. The money raised will go toward helping with expenses including medical bills, monthly bills, daily expenses, and loss of income."

In about 13 hours, the GoFundMe page reached its goal, which has since been increased to $40,000.

As of Friday morning, $28,122 has been raised.

"Nick has a huge heart and puts his family and others first," the page reads. "Now it’s time for us to put Nick and his family first."
