Wichita, KS, Letter Carrier Kerry Hurd had just finished delivering on her route when she saw a man pulling a child out of a car and sensed something was wrong.

Hurd pulled her vehicle over to the side of the road and heard someone yell for help. She ran toward the car and saw that the woman in the driver’s seat wasn’t breathing.

“She was turning blue,” Hurd recalled.

The Postal Service employee quickly enlisted two men nearby to remove the woman from the car. She performed CPR on her until paramedics arrived.

The woman was taken to a nearby hospital and she continues to recover.

“When I later found out she is alive, I was overwhelmed with happiness,” Hurd said.
