A woman has been stabilised after suffering a cardiorespiratory arrest while travelling in a taxi on Monday morning. The incident happened near the town’s bus station, where a rapid and coordinated response proved crucial in saving her life.

The taxi driver recognised the seriousness of the situation and alerted an off-duty police officer. The officer immediately activated the emergency protocol, and two patrol cars were dispatched to the scene. Officers removed the woman from the vehicle and began CPR while awaiting medical support.

At the same time, another patrol located healthcare teams and transported them quickly to the scene. Several off-duty medical professionals also assisted. Police and paramedics worked together for several minutes to reverse the cardiac arrest, eventually restoring the woman’s pulse and breathing.

She was stabilised at the scene before being transferred to hospital by a SAMU ambulance for specialist care. The officer in charge of the operation said the outcome highlighted the importance of training, coordination and rapid response in life-or-death emergencies.
