Driver Rescues Heart Attack Victim

A hero truck driver helped saved the life of a motorist who suffered a heart attack while driving on the M6 toll road, by dragging him from his crashed car and performing CPR.

Quick-thinking Kirk Mount (pictured), who works for Mark Thompson Transport, manoeuvred his fully laden 44-tonne truck across all three lanes of the motorway after a Range Rover crashed into the central reservation and rolled backwards ahead of him,

The car doors were locked so former soldier Mount, 35, along with a couple in another vehicle, smashed a window and opened the driver’s side to find a man unresponsive inside.

He had no pulse and was not breathing so the trucker hauled him from the car and performed CPR. Luckily, a medical professional witnessed the incident and had a defibrillator.

By the time the ambulance arrived, the man had a pulse and was breathing again.
