He said he went out after he heard the bang and saw that her car was smoking.<\/p>\n
\u201cI opened the door and checked her and she was unconscious. I told someone to get the fire extinguisher.<\/p>\n
\u201cI sprayed everywhere. I kept on spraying the engine because I was worried her car would catch on fire.<\/p>\n
\u201cI held her hand and said \u2018you\u2019ll be all right\u2019 but I don\u2019t think she heard me …<\/p>\n
\u201cThe firefighters were incredible they did everything they could. So many people rushed over to help.\u201d<\/p>\n
Neighbouring businesses called 111 while he stayed by her side.<\/p>\n
He said firefighters arrived just five minutes later.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were incredible and tried CPR on her straight away.\u201d<\/p>\n
A local woman who also assisted in opening the car door said it was \u201cobvious\u201d the woman had had a medical event.<\/p>\n
She said several people including doctors and nurses from a nearby medical centre, as well as from the Lumino dentist, rushed out to help the woman.<\/p>\n
\u201cEmergency services were excellent and very quick to respond. I don\u2019t know her personally but have seen her around the Red Beach shops before.\u201d<\/p>\n
The crash was being investigated by police.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He said he went out after he heard the bang and saw that her car was smoking. \u201cI…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":483034,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[57538,51,7972,1550,3549,28447,1359,21818,19552,13574,11784,6491,305,12065,111,43,139,69,15406,11590,1243,61,46599,28251,1354],"class_list":["post-483033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-aftermath","tag-auckland","tag-beach","tag-centre","tag-crash","tag-describe","tag-described","tag-desperate","tag-driver","tag-efforts","tag-fatal","tag-frantic","tag-have","tag-immediate","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-red","tag-save","tag-shopping","tag-to","tag-try","tag-witnesses","tag-woman"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=483033"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483033\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/483034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=483033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=483033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=483033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
