Dramatic Video Of Maine State Trooper Saving A Life [VIDEO]

Pretty remarkable video taken from a Maine State Police Trooper's cruiser from this past April on a interstate bridge in South Portland.  Watch as the trooper and a emergency room nurse who just happened to be passing by save a man's life.

According to a story in the Portland Press Herald, the man, identified only from the sound of the video as Jay, had just taken a dose of heroin in a Dunkin Donuts parking lot a few miles from the scene.  Trooper Douglas Cropper pulled the man over on Interstate 295 for going 15 miles an hour over the posted speed limit.

You'll see the ever cautious trooper asked for the man's license as cars and trucks whiz by at highway speed.  After calling the stop in, the trooper returns the black Volkswagen and finds the driver passed out with his head tilted back.

The trooper calls for help, and then begins to perform CPR (Stayin' alive, stayin' alive). Pretty scary stuff as both are in the road more or less as cars and trucks continue to speed by. Eventually an emergency room nurse stops to help, and both drag the man to a safer spot on the side of the highway.

In the article, the trooper said that the man had just overdosed three days prior, and on this day in particular he was on his way to work.
