This clip shows a Connecticut cop giving life-saving CPR to a limousine driver who suffered a medical emergency while driving on a motorway.

The incident took place on Interstate 91 near the town of Windsor in the US state of Connecticut on 4th February.

Connecticut State Police shared footage of the incident on social media the following day with the message: “On February 4th, 2022, at approximately 06:34 AM, State Police Troop H received a 911 call from a passenger in a limousine vehicle which had been traveling in the HOV lane on I-91 Northbound at Exit 35 in Windsor, when the driver of the vehicle reportedly had a medical event.”

The passenger told the police that the driver was unconscious and unresponsive, as confirmed by officers on the scene.

The police said: “Troopers quickly determined the driver had no pulse and was not breathing. Troopers removed the driver from the vehicle and immediately initiated CPR, using a bag valve mask to assist with breathing.

“Once Windsor EMS arrived on scene, Troopers continued to assist EMS with CPR and rescue breathing. A pulse was detected in the ambulance, but the driver was still not breathing on his own.

“Windsor EMS advised Troopers that both medics needed to remain with the patient and administer care. EMS then requested that a Trooper drive the ambulance to Hartford Hospital.

“Troopers readily agreed and operated the ambulance so that EMS personnel could remain with the patient and continue to provide acute medical care.

“The driver of the vehicle was admitted to Hartford Hospital, where he remains under the care of medical staff.”

The police added: “Commanding Officers of the Troopers are recommending them for the agency’s Lifesaving Medal.”
