Woman Reunited with Officers After Cardiac Arrest

Jacqueline Alston, 62, miraculously survived a cardiac arrest and stroke while driving in May, leading to a crash against a telegraph pole. Her heart stopped for over an hour, but thanks to the rapid response of police officers, community members, and a trained medic, she received life-saving CPR and defibrillation. Bystanders Andy Fleming and Adrian Rowell were instrumental in rescuing her through an open sunroof, while Sgt. Rob Fitt and PC Tom Baggley arrived shortly after, assisted by Mark Johnson, who prepared a defibrillator. Despite her dire condition, Jacqueline regained consciousness four days later, defying medical expectations, and was eventually able to return home just in time for Christmas. Her husband, Gary, expressed gratitude for the extraordinary circumstances that led to her survival, likening it to a miracle. The reunion with those who saved her life was an emotional moment for all involved, highlighting the power of community and quick action in emergencies.
