Sen. Tim Scott discussed on Fox News' "Hang Out With Sean Hannity" how a near-fatal car crash when he was a teenager led him to focus on his faith and political career rather than football. The accident occurred when Scott fell asleep at the wheel, leading to a severe collision where he broke his ankle and sustained back injuries. He believes divine intervention saved him from worse injury, prompting him to give his life to Jesus Christ during college after receiving a partial scholarship to Presbyterian College.

Story summary
Sen. Tim Scott, a Republican from South Carolina, discussed during the Republican National Committee Midterm Convention in Dallas how a severe car crash changed his life when he was a high school student. While driving his mother to work one morning, Scott fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into heavy traffic on his way back home, causing significant damage but miraculously surviving with no injuries. He believes divine intervention saved him during this "carnage." The accident happened before Scott's senior year of high school when he was a prominent football player; afterward, it derailed his athletic career despite previously being on track for college sports opportunities. Scott shared these memories on Fox News during an interview with host Sean Hannity, emphasizing the life-altering impact of that event in shaping his future path in politics.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
