New Jersey EMS official: Captain, Eskil "Scott" Danielson died of a heart attack just hours after he responded to a car accident call which involved his own 19-year-old daughter, Alycia Danielson. Scott Danielson, who served his New Jersey community as a civil servant for over thirty years, responded to the call just after 3:30 p.m on Saturday afternoon and while he was on his way to the scene he was informed by his daughter of her involvement in the accident.

After he helped treat his daughter, and the other occupant of the other vehicle, Scott Danielson drove to Newton Medical Center to check on her, according to Inside Edition. While Danielson was in the waiting room he complained of back pains and suffered a massive heart attack. He was airlifted just after 4:30 p.m to nearby Morristown Medical Center. At 8:30 p.m however, he was pronounced dead.

"They were hoping to do a medical procedure, but ultimately his heart wasn't strong enough anymore." Scott Danielson's brother, Eric Danielson, told Inside Edition. Danielson's daughter was released from hospital that same day after being treated for minor injuries.

Alycia Danielson posted a message to her father on Facebook, the New York Daily News reports. The heartwrenching message reads: "I love you so much, daddy. I'll take good care of mom, I promise. Please watch over us."

Danielson also leaves behind his wife Tammy and his two other children, 28-year-old Aaron, a member of the U.S air force, and 21-year-old Amanda.

Eskil "Scott" Danielson was 49-years-old.
