Saving a life with CPR

Jonathan and Jen Millions dropped off their children at Montessori School and headed to work when the traffic suddenly came to a stop. Upon closer look, there was a lady lying face-down on the curb and some people standing. Both Jen and Jonathan were trained in CPR and wanted to see if they can help. A person was on the phone with a 911 dispatcher who instructed them to turn the woman over and start CPR.

A woman started the chest compressions on the victim. Jonathan got down on the ground to take turns with her. Another man started giving mouth-to-mouth and they continued CPR until the paramedics arrived a few minutes later.

Driver shaken by incident

According to the police, the 71-year old woman was transported to a healthcare facility in critical condition but succumbed to her injuries.
