UTTAR PRADESH, INDIA – NOVEMBER 21, 2025 Truck driver stopped at a roadside restaurant during his break and went inside to make some purchases. Suddenly, he collapsed to the ground. Employees immediately ran to provide first aid, but instead of following proper procedure, they tried to sit him up. According to all available information, he ultimately died.
First aid in such a case involves immediately calling an ambulance, monitoring vital signs, and in extreme cases performing chest compressions. The emergency operator should always advise on what to do in the specific situation. It is therefore extremely important to speak calmly, clearly, and cooperate with the operator.
Incidents like this remind us how fragile human life is and how unexpectedly it can end. Most heart failures can be prevented through timely prevention, which includes a healthy lifestyle and regular doctor visits.
We never know when we will be the ones who have to provide first aid and potentially save someone’s life. In most cities worldwide, first aid courses are available for a small fee or even for free. It is one of the most valuable skills a person can have.
