Photos: Dramatic Moment Baby is Given Life-Saving CPR on Motorway After He Stopped Breathing in Traffic

The five-month-old infant had begun to turn blue when his aunt and fellow motorists performed mouth-to-mouth at the side of the road. A frantic aunt battles to breathe life into her baby nephew in a drama on a busy motorway.

She found him turning blue.
Pamela said: “He had lost all colour and was limp. Completely limp. It was frightening.”
Screaming for help, she cradled the child in her arms and began the kiss of life.
