Matthew Lynch

Matthew Lynch (32, Cinnaminson, N.J.) was stuck in traffic one morning on his daily commute to work. When he finally caught up to the car blocking traffic, he noticed both the driver and passenger were unresponsive. He knew he needed to start CPR – which he’d learned at work. Matthew pushed hard and fast in the center of the man’s chest until he gasped for breath, then he turned his attention to the passenger until paramedics arrived.
