Authorities say an 8-year-old boy grabbed control of a pickup and brought it safely to a stop after his grandmother had a seizure while driving on a western Colorado interstate.
The woman suffered a seizure while driving at about 75 mph on Interstate 70 outside Grand Junction on Sunday. Her grandson was in the passenger seat and grabbed the wheel. Her foot slipped off the accelerator, and her grandson kept the pickup in the right-hand lane until it came to a stop.
A seizure or other medical emergency can happen at any time. At home, rely on an ADT monitored home security system including a medical pendant, sometimes called a panic pendant. Through state-of-the-art technology, today's medical home security equipment can even detect when the person wearing the pendant as suddenly fallen, allowing highly trained dispatchers to get local medical assistance on the way immediately.
Do everything you can to protect your family, including your elderly loved ones or others in your home with special needs. An ADT monitored home security burglar and fire alarm system is just the ticket.
