The nurse managed to stop the bus when it went out of control and then started CPR on the driver
File photo Image: Leah Farrell/RollingNews.ie File photo Image: Leah Farrell/RollingNews.ie A NURSE WHO intervened when a Dublin Bus driver took ill and the vehicle veered into traffic in the city centre has said she is grateful she was there to help.
“We were going through red lights, there were cars beeping and we actually ran over a bicycle, which was quite frightening at the time,” she told RTÉ’s Ryan Tubridy this morning. McGivney ran to the front of the bus where another woman told her there was something wrong with the driver. He was unconscious and his breathing was “very poor”.
McGivney and the other passenger managed to open the driver’s door and she said she moved his legs to get his feet off the pedals. The bus cut out and rolled to a stop.
