A Scots mum has been hailed a hero after she saved a toddler from drowning in a pond in Glasgow. Victoria Crane was celebrating her 27th birthday at Victoria Park with her own two children and a friend, when an elderly man spotted a two-year-old girl lying face down in the pond on Tuesday.
The mum-of-two, who knows first aid, raced over to the water and put the youngster in the recovery position. As Victoria began to rub the child's back she quickly started to bring up some fluid, but was still unresponsive. As the tot's family were located, Victoria performed CPR on the child before ambulance crews arrived and stepped in.
Victoria told the Record: "It was a really traumatic experience. I didn't sleep all, I'm still shaken up by it. I just kept thinking, what if I hadn't been there, what if that man hadn't spotted her in the water."
