Supermarket Delivery Driver Heroically Saves Customer’s Life
Supermarket Delivery Saves Customer in Life-Threatening Emergency
Quick Thinking Turns Routine Delivery Into a Heroic Rescue
A heartwarming story in Poole, Dorset proves how supermarket delivery saves customer lives in unexpected ways.
When Leandro Pinto Dantas from Asda arrived for a routine delivery, he sensed something was off. The lights were on, but no one answered the door. He knocked several times, called the provided contact number, but still got no response.
Spotting Trouble and Taking Action
Looking through the window, he noticed the elderly woman lying unconscious on the floor and immediately called emergency services.
Paramedics arrived and treated her with glucose for hypoglycemia. Their fast response, made possible by Leandro’s alertness, likely saved her life.
Going Beyond the Call of Duty
While paramedics treated the woman, Leandro put her groceries away and continued his shift after she went to the hospital.
Later, he returned with flowers to check on her. The woman later wrote to a local newspaper, calling him a “wonderful chap” who went “above and beyond.”
Recognizing Everyday Heroes
The incident earned Leandro a nomination for Asda’s service superstar award. He wasn’t even scheduled to work that day but had swapped shifts.
The woman in her 60s wrote to the Bournemouth Echo to thank Leandro
