In emergencies, timely delivery of CPR can save a life. A man was given CPR after a collision on Gateway Boulevard. At the site of the incident, belongings were strewn across the road and traffic started to build up.
Prompt delivery of CPR
According to Sonya Lambert, a man was standing up while pedaling his bicycle and a trailer carrying possessions ends up stuck on the curb. A car driving in front of Lambert hit the man who was crossing in the middle of the road. The man was bleeding in the back of his head. Lambert quickly called 911 while another woman started performing CPR.
The man was yelling on the ground due to the pain. The driver of the car was bawling when he exited his vehicle. The man was evidently in a state of shock.
