Morgan Scott: NJ road rage victim, 23, battles neck fractures, broken leg and ribs
A New Jersey city employee who was run over multiple times by Vincent Jean in a road rage attack is slowly recovering from life-threatening injuries including a broken spine.
23-year-old Morgan Scott was left with a broken leg, ribs, and a severed liver after her attacker mowed her down three times in Elizabeth, New Jersey, on Tuesday, April 12. 56-year-old Jean -- who was apprehended after his Mistubishi SUV was caught on camera ramming into Scott -- has since been charged with first-degree attempted murder and third-degree assault by auto. Scott's embattled family has set up a GoFundMe to cover her medical expenses after their insurance company allegedly refused to cover them as the injuries were "intentionally inflicted."

"Recently my daughter endured a horrible attack on her life but God was merciful and spared my daughter from death," Scott's father Ian wrote on Instagram on Saturday, April 16. "Thank you for your love and support she is recovering God is good! God is Good!!!!!" Meanwhile, he also warned the public that scammers had established several fake GoFundMe accounts in his daughter's name.

This comes after it emerged that the perp was obsessed with the video game 'Grand Theft Auto' as evidenced by numerous clips posted on his social media. The victim's family said they were devastated and noted that it was "not the result of any domestic dispute." They wrote on the fundraising page, "Morgan miraculously survived her terrible ordeal; however, she has three fractured bones in her neck. A broken femur, a lacerated liver, broken ribs, severe back injuries, deep gashes over 60 percent of her body, and severe injuries road rashes. Then to add insult to injury, the insurance company informed her father that they couldn't pay her medical expenses because her injuries weren't from an accident, 'THEY WERE INTENTIONALLY INFLICTED.'" The family added, "Morgan is lying incapacitated in a trauma center; she will require additional surgery, and her recovery/rehabilitation will be long and arduous. We are mounting a fundraising campaign to raise $100,000 to offset the cost of Morgan's medical expenses, so I'm appealing to all generous, compassionate people."
This is Vincent Jean. He intentionally ran over a Jewish woman in Elizabeth New Jersey three times. She survived and he’s facing a long time in prison. The reason was a fender bender. We need to fix mental health in this nation. pic.twitter.com/Z3NET8AFfy

Witnesses recalled how Jean's SUV flattened Scott after a crash further up the road in Elizabeth. One of the onlookers, identified only as Isaac, told the Daily Mail that Scott "should never have survived" the ordeal. He and his wife, who is reportedly a retired nurse, rushed to the victim and said she thanked them when they placed a blanket over her. Isaac said he watched the attack unfold from his residence across the road. "I walked out and saw the school bus stopped. People were running and screaming and it was just crazy," he told the newspaper. "I saw the lady was lying on the grass across the street. I looked at this woman and it was just awful. We took a blanket as the grass was really still wet and I asked my wife - who was a nurse - if she was alive. She said the woman said ''thank you'' to her when she passed it over. Every time I look at the video it makes me feel sick. By the last time she got run over she looked completely out of it on the ground. She should never have survived that."
