Taxi Drivers Can Attend 999 Calls
United Kingdom -
Two taxi drivers have trained as volunteer life savers in a scheme in rural Shropshire. Craig Richards and Cliff Edwards, from Central Taxis, Horsehay, Telford, carry defibrillators to resuscitate people and are able to attend 999 calls.
The volunteers, who can give medical aid before an ambulance arrives, have already saved one life.
Mr Richards said: "Telford's a big place. You've only got a certain number of ambulance drivers."
