A McDonald’s Employee Leaps Through Drive Through Window To Save Cop

A police officer in Florida should consider herself very lucky for a fast acting McDonald’s employee who saved her life.

According to local ABC News affiliate report, a McDonald’s employee in Doral, Florida, rescued a female police officer on Tuesday who was in the drive through lane.

Surveillance footage provided to Miami-based station WPLG showed Pedro Viloria, the employee, jumping out the drive-through window in order to help the victim in her car.

According to Viloria, the off-duty Miami-Dade police officer who had her two children in the backseat was suffering from a medical emergency.

Viloria said she had pulled up and paid for her order without a problem, but he noticed that she was having trouble breathing when he returned to the window with her food.

“In that moment, I thought, ‘I’d rather save that woman’s life,'” he told WPLG on Tuesday.

“I see she’s, like, inflating her neck, like trying to breathe, like ‘ahh,’ and basically I thought something was going wrong.”

Viloria found her unconscious in the car and ran back to the restaurant to get help.

The police officer was indeed lucky this day because another customer in the establishment was a paramedic and not too long after, an off-duty Miami-Dade Fire Rescue worker entered the store and offered his assistance as well.

“The real heroes are the fire rescuers,” Viloria told WPLG.

According to Viloria, first responders performed CPR on the woman and used an automated external defibrillator to revive her.
