Ontario Provincial Police says the quick-thinking actions of a Good Samaritan saved a woman’s life in Norfolk County last week.

Officers responded to reports of a woman in medical distress on Norfolk St. South around 3 p.m. on Mar. 2.

Police learned a woman had noticed a 29-year-old woman was in distress from what appeared to be an opioid overdose.

The Good Samaritan immediately administered naloxone and the woman began to breathe.

She was later transported to hospital for treatment.

“The OPP is reminding all members of the public that there is help in our community. You are never alone. If you or someone you know needs assistance, you can call the Community Addiction and Mental Health Services of Haldimand and Norfolk at 1-866-487-2278,” said Inspector Joseph Varga, Detachment Commander, Norfolk County OPP in a news release.
