Man knew what to do after spotting 'grey' driver 'covered in blood' on M62

A man has described the moment that his quick thinking saved the life of a passed-out driver in fast lane of the M62.

John Barlow, 59, was travelling with his wife and young son on the M62 in Yorkshire to pick up a new kitten on Sunday when he noticed the motorist holding up traffic. But as he drove alongside him he saw the “grey” looking driver - in his “mid-to-late 60s" -covered in blood and feared he was “dead”.

The martial arts instructor then pulled in front of the stricken motorist and used his family Hyundai Santa Fe SUV vehicle to bring the man’s Audi A3 to a complete stop. Another motorist smashed open the passenger door and John then used his first aid training to help the man breath by tilting his head back to keep his airways open.
