Health workers at an Auckland addiction rehab centre were some of the first to rush to the aid of a driver who was fatally injured when their car crashed into a pole on a busy street.
Despite receiving medical attention just minutes after the accident the driver died on Carrington Road in Point Chevalier this morning.
A worker at the nearby Community Alcohol and Drug Services described how the local health team were some of the first to respond at the scene of the crash.
“It shows the importance of knowing CPR and knowing where defibrillators are stored,” said the health worker, who asked not to be named.
It was also not the first time someone had crashed a vehicle in that spot.
