A Scots mum who saved a child from drowning in a Glasgow park has been nominated for a prestigious award. The Record reported last year how Victoria Crane, 27, sprung into action after seeing the two-year-old girl face down in the pond in Victoria Park.
Victoria, from Milngavie, was in the West End park celebrating her birthday when she heard a commotion coming from the pond. The mum, who works as a carer, raced to the scene and provided vital first aid after the girl's body was pulled from the water by a man.
She is now a finalist for the Scottish First Aid Awards after she was nominated by her partner, Craig Donnelly. Victoria told Glasgow Live: "I never wanted to receive any plaudits for my actions but it does feel nice to be recognised. Obviously the most important thing is that the wee girl is still alive.".
