Bravery award for hero boy who saved mum’s life

Advertisements

A 12-year-old boy who calmly steered a speeding car into a central reservation after his mother fainted behind the wheel has been given an bravery award.

Nicola Crump was travelling from Wales to the Birmingham Christmas markets with her son when she lost consciousness, with her foot causing the car’s speed to increase to nearly 60mph (97 km/h).

Zac, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took control and guided the car off the A40 near Ross-on-Wye on 14 December.

He switched off the engine, called 999, and calmly told the call handler the pair’s location, West Mercia Police said.

After receiving the award, Zac said: “Even to this day, I don’t see it as a big deal but from other people’s perspective it is.”
