Five-year-old boy from Shropshire uses information on ambulance toy to save mum's life
A five-year-old from Shropshire has helped save his mum's life after he rung emergency services when she fell unconscious.
Josh made the call from his home in Telford, when he found his mum lying on the floor after she had slipped into a diabetic coma last month.
The school boy rang the number 112, which was the number he spotted on the side of his toy ambulance, which connected him to a police communications operator.
The phone number 112 is the single European emergency number which provides the same purpose as 999.
Shortly after receiving the call, officers arrived and found the boy and his younger brother in the house and their mother who was lying unconscious on the floor.
Paramedics were then able to treat his mum and save her life.
