A dad saved the life of a farmer crushed under half a ton of hay - by using an app to guide medics to the rural location. Michael Moss, 39, had been eating lunch in his garden when he heard distant screams for help coming from the fields behind his home in Worksop, Notts.
He ran in the general direction of the anguished cries and found an idle tractor with a farmer nearby trapped underneath a 1,000lb industrial-sized bale of hay. The farmer, known only as Stephen, was pinned to the ground from the waist down and in excruciating pain screaming out: "Help me".
Michael dialled 999 after being unable to budge the heavy bale himself - but knew he couldn't guide the ambulance to their exact location due to it being so rural. Thinking on his feet, he decided to use his what3words app which provides an accurate location for emergency services, using three randomised words as a code.
