Two Asda workers have been hailed for helping a shopper who fell out of her mobility scooter after accidentally pressing the accelerator while trying to get something from the bottom shelf. Crystal Harwood and Kealey Smith had only just finished their first aid training when the incident involving an 84-year-old shopper happened.
They managed to stem the bleeding from the woman's head and kept her calm and comfortable while they waited for the paramedics to arrive. The disabled woman's daughter has since been in store to thank the two women and to say her mum, who suffered a fractured eye socket and broken nose, is making a good recovery.
During her ordeal at Asda's store in Farnworth, in the Bolton area of Greater Manchester, the injured woman said she had survived the bombing of Manchester during the Second World War and if Hitler couldn't kill her, falling out of her mobility scooter in Asda wasn't going to either.
