A martial arts instructor has described the heart-stopping moment he saved a driver who passed out in a motorway fast lane - after seeing blood pour from his mouth. 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”. Brave John then pulled in front of the stricken motorist and used his family's Hyundai Santa Fe to bring the man’s Audi A3 to a complete stop.
And after a fellow motorist smashed open the passenger door, John used his first aid training to help the man breath by tilting his head back to keep his airways open. An an off-duty police officer and doctor then took control of the situation and John got the “amazing” news later that evening saying the man had left hospital.
