Last week LBP provided an update on the traffic incident that occurred at 6:30am on Wednesday 29th May, outside Paula Rosa Manhattan.
We are now be in a position to update you on the condition of the driver, who crashed in Paula Rosa Manhattan's fence, after a health issue at the wheel.
As explained last week, luck was on the driver's side, as the point of impact meant that help was immediately on hand from an L&S Waste Management HGV driver, a learner driver with their tutor, Mike Nea of CJS Landscapes and multiple employees from Paula Rosa Manhattan, who came running with their defibrillator in hand.
The CPR and defibrillator work administered firstly by Chris Chapman and Ryan Greenland, First Aiders at Paula Rosa Manhattan and then the extensive support provided by the South East Coast Ambulance Service crews, ensured the driver was breathing when he left the scene.
It has been an incredibly difficult week for the driver and their family, at times looking very bleak. LBP are however so pleased to report that the driver has now turned a corner and is conscious. The driver is still in ICU but is now breathing independently and responding well.
This wonderful news would not have been possible without the amazing support of those at the scene. LBP would like to thank all of them for their immediate action, which helped to change this story completely and enabled the driver's to be here for their birthday last week.
LBP would like to wish the driver, their family and colleagues all the best and we hope that the road to recovery is as smooth and speedy as possible.
LBP has a network of 17 defibrillators across the park for exactly these situations and are so grateful to support of LBP businesses, in sharing their resources for public access.
