ROSLINDALE, Mass. — Boston EMT Katrina Sanchez was on her way home from work when she saved an elderly man from choking in his car at the intersection of Blue Ledge Drive and Highcrest Road in Roslindale.
With the help of another person, Sanchez helped the man out of his car, gave him a couple of back slaps and performed the Heimlich maneuver to remove the obstruction from his throat.
Sanchez saw the man choking on chips while in his parked car and she immediately jumped in to help. After performing the Heimlich maneuver, Sanchez called 911 and tended to the man until her Boston EMS colleagues arrived.
