Two workers at an Asda store in County Durham have been hailed as heroes for helping to save a man's life after he collapsed at a petrol pump.
Finola Clarkson and Lisa Cuppit, who both work at the Peterlee branch, have been praised by a customer who collapsed with severe anaemia. Finola, who has worked at Asda since 1999, was taking her break when she spotted the man collapse by a petrol pump and the pair immediately sprung into action.
Lisa phoned 999 for an ambulance and the pair cordoned off the area. They kept the man conscious by chatting to him, while also speaking to the ambulance control. It later transpired that the customer needed urgent medical care including several blood transfusions and he is still recovering in the University Hospital of North Tees, in Stockton.
