Sevilla mum searches for motorcyclist who saved her baby's life
05/11/2018
A MUM from Sevilla is searching for her 'guardian angel' who probably saved her six-week-old baby's life when she was rushing him to hospital.
Lolí Martín López says her son became gravely ill two weeks ago on Saturday and she jumped in the car with him to take him to A&E, fearing an ambulance would not reach her in time.
But she ran into a gridlock at the Tamarguillo roundabout in the Andalucía city at around 15.00.
Despite waving a scarf from her window, putting on her four-way hazard lights and hooting, calling for cars to let her past so she could continue towards the hospital, nobody moved.
Then, a man on a 125cc motorbike appeared out of the blue, pushed past and blocked the traffic so Lolí could get through.
He got off his bike and stood in the way of the other cars until the mum had managed to get to the front of the queue, 'putting his own life at risk', Lolí said.
Lolí got to Sevilla's Virgen del Rocío University Hospital in the nick of time and emergency doctors saved her 38-day-old baby's life.
She recounted the tale on Facebook, saying she was looking for a man who had been on a dark-coloured bike and wearing dark clothes, and by this morning (Monday), the message had been shared 30,000 times and 7.8 million social media users had reacted to it.
Some of the shares and likes were by users as far away as Germany and even Colombia.
