Asda driver rescues man after hearing Morse code

An Asda delivery driver saved a 90-year-old who had broken their hip after recognising Morse code.

Home shopping driver Sam Speechley from the Queensferry store in Flintshire, north Wales, heard someone in tap out what sounded like SOS in Morse code on their car horn.

When she went to investigate she found 90-year-old Keith Turner who'd slipped on his driveway and had broken his hip, and had managed to drag himself to the car so he could sound the alarm. Widower Keith, who's now back home after spending three weeks in hospital, said: "Sam saved my life, she really did, and I can't thank her enough. I'd been laying there in the rain and cold for half an hour and if she hadn't come along when she did I don't think I'd have made it. She's a Godsend.
