Policeman saves a little girl who was choking (VIDEO)
New Mexico, USA. A couple could not have imagined that stopping for a road check would be a blessing. The story told by BibliaTodo.com.
Deputy Sheriff of Santa Fe, Patrick Ficke, noticed a black Ford Explorer staggering on the freeway earlier this month. He then stopped the driver, who immediately got out of the vehicle.
The agent said: "Just when I stopped the vehicle, the driver, a father, jumped out immediately and this is usually an emergency signal for the police."
The policeman immediately realized that the father had a justified reason for the irregular driving: the daughter of the year was choking and could not breathe anymore.
The child's parents jumped out of the car as soon as they received the signal to stop on the side of the road.

"He took the baby out and I saw that it was stiff and purple - said the agent - So I immediately called the paramedics and an ambulance and I ran to the baby".
Without wasting time, the deputy sheriff checked the child's airway and realized she was choking on something. So he turned it upside down and started practicing the Heimlich maneuver.
Ficke continued with the procedure for nearly a minute until something came out of the little girl's mouth.
Once the doctors arrived, they checked the child and, miraculously, she was fine. The couple thanked the agent with a smile on their faces.
