Lanarkshire schoolboy saves dad's life by calling 999 after he collapsed making breakfast

A Lanarkshire schoolboy who helped save his dad's life after he collapsed while making breakfast has been given a special award from Police Scotland.

Callum Tracey was staying at his dad Kevin Hay's house when the 43-year-old fell to the floor in the kitchen on Monday, May 29.

The five-year-old, who has difficulties communicating, wasn't able to say the word 'ambulance' and so asked for the police instead, with officers then able to dispatch paramedics to the house in Blantyre, reports the Daily Record.
