In an act of courage and quick thinking, an unnamed Grab rider became an unexpected hero after performing life-saving CPR on an unconscious foreigner involved in a traffic accident in Hua Hin.

 

The incident occurred on January 9 at 10:12 AM close to the irrigation canal on Soi 70. The Sawang Hua Hin Dhammasthan Rescue Unit reported that a foreign male, riding a motorcycle, collided with a pickup truck and was found unconscious with no pulse.

 

The Sawang Hua Hin Dhammasthan Rescue Unit, via their Facebook page, highlighted the swift response of the Grab rider. Upon encountering the accident scene, the rider, whose name remains unknown, immediately administered CPR to the victim, effectively keeping him alive until the arrival of the ambulance and rescue team.

 

The Rescue Unit’s post expressed deep gratitude towards the Grab rider: “We commend the Grab rider for his prompt action at the accident scene. His willingness to assist and perform CPR on the injured person, who was unconscious and pulseless, undoubtedly played a crucial role in the rescue operation. His actions are truly admirable.”

Good man. To assist first aid including CPR is everybody's duty in many countries and will be fined if you don't.

However, where the knowledge should come from? Are students trained? Or all those who apply for a driver's licence? I doubt it.

Long way to go.🙏

 

i've been on defibrillator/CPR course and can recommend it to anyone. you never know...

Makes me remember there are good people in Thailand. 

Must have been chest compressions, a little difficult for breathes with the helmet on!

 

But seriously well done that fella, more people need to be given access to training.
