Assistance to two women who needed to go urgently to a hospital, the first due to premature delivery and the second for health reasons, were called and provided by members of the police, specifically members of the Traffic Headquarters Police Department.
The presence of members of the Traffic Department on the Nicosia - Kokkinotrimithias highway shortly after 11.00 last night, proved to be the catalyst for the immediate identification of a woman aged 26 years, who while driving her vehicle on the motorway, fell ill and contacted a person she knew to ask for help.
The 26-year-old specifically contacted her employer and reported that while driving on the highway heading to the village where she resides, she felt pain and numbness in her body. At the same time, their telephone communication was disconnected, with her employer rushing to locate her on the highway.
At a point on the highway at Anthoupoli, a patrol of the Road Accident Prevention Unit - OPOD, of the Traffic Police Headquarters, was on patrol, approached by the 26-year-old's employer and after telling the police members what was happening, asked for their help in locating her.
The 26-year-old woman was located by the members of the Police on the highway, at a point after the exit to the village of Mammari and after she asked to be taken in her vehicle to a hospital, a member of the Police drove her in her vehicle, accompanied by the police patrol car, to a private hospital, where she was admitted to the First Aid Department for medical examinations. After receiving the necessary examinations and treatment, she was subsequently discharged.
Second incident involving a pregnant woman
Earlier yesterday, around 8.30 in the morning, members of the Headquarters Traffic Department, who were on the Nicosia - Limassol highway, were called and rushed to locate and assist a woman aged 32 years, who was in premature labour and was heading with her husband towards Nicosia.
Police members located the couple on the motorway near the Latsia weighing station and safely escorted them
in the police vehicle to a private clinic in Nicosia.
The woman gave birth to a healthy baby boy.
