I wondered what on earth was going on, but when I saw this river of blood I knew I had to help. She said: "I was running late to take my daughter to her horse riding lesson when, by pure fluke, I saw him. Miraculously, within minutes of the accident happening mental health nurse Laura Hayes was driving past and saw Scott and his young family in distress. Scott slipped and put his foot through glass then acting on instinct he removed his foot severing an artery in the process (Image: Scott Lee / Wales Online) I told my wife and my kids that I loved them as I wasn't sure if I'd see them again." I've seen too many TV programmes where people had cut an artery, bled out, and not lived to tell the tale. I got drained really, really quickly and I felt like I was going to die. "I made it two houses down and screamed for her and thankfully she came out. I had to hop a small wall to try and get the four doors down to my wife," he added. I looked down at the gash and it was huge. "The blood squirted across to my left leg. Rather than keeping his right foot where it was, as an "automatic reaction" Scott pulled it out of the glass and severed an artery in the process.

"On the Friday I'd put all the glass doors out into the front garden and my brother was going to remove them and take them to the tip. The beauty is the fact my mother-in-law lives four doors down, my wife's gran and auntie live next door, and then there's us. We got in and started pulling the doors and skirting boards out as I was re-doing the house from top to bottom myself. Recalling the horrific events of Saturday, August 20, Scott told Wales online: "On the Thursday I completed on the house and got the keys. It was quite an introduction for Scott who had moved into the new house 24 hours earlier.
