DoorDash driver saves customer’s life after finding bloody unconscious woman in driveway

A DoorDash driver saved his client’s life after he found the woman bleeding from the head and passed out in the driveway.

Sophia Furtado, 26, made a delivery to a home in Bristol County, Massachusetts, on February 11.

As he entered the driveway, he was shocked to find his client, 55-year-old Caryn Hebert Sullivan, unconscious with a pool of blood around his head.

Sophia acted immediately, waking Caryn’s husband Robert, alerting the authorities, using a towel to stop the bleeding, and stabilizing Caryn’s neck until paramedics arrived.

The delivery boy, with his quick and heroic actions, eventually saved the woman’s life, and the two are now friends.

Sophia remembered it was a “normal work night” before finding Caryn motionless in the driveway.

He was about to finish his shift when his typical night suddenly took a gruesome turn.

Fortunately, Sophia, who dreams of becoming a paramedic herself, trained as a medical assistant four years ago.

“It happened so fast,” Sophia recalled recently to the Washington Post. “I was shocked because I didn’t know how much time he had yet.”

The DoorDash employee was able to guess that Caryn had been unconscious for about 15 minutes, as the blood was already starting to clot.

“You have to come here right away,” he remembered saying to the switchboard. “This is serious.”

While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, Sophia asked Robert to bring a towel to stop the bleeding and a blanket to keep Caryn warm as it was only 30 degrees that night.

And Sophia’s quick thinking may be the reason why Caryn is still alive today.

Fortunately, Sophia (pictured) who dreams of becoming a paramedic herself had trained as an emergency medical technician four years ago.

Caryn (pictured) accidentally fell and hit her head after getting off her knee while waiting in front of her father Gino’s pizza.

‘EMT training has definitely helped at this point. I feel like if it took longer or if I hadn’t taken the steps I took, I wouldn’t be here today,” said Sofia.

He also told CBC How It Happened, “I wasn’t afraid to go in. I was not afraid to deal with him. I felt like I had to be there and help him.’

Caryn wanted to wait outside for her father Gino’s pizza so as not to wake her husband when he accidentally fell and hit his head.

“My knee went out and I grabbed the rail and slipped,” he told The Post. “I fell and hit my head.”

He remembered seeing “lying in the driveway, freezing cold” and “many white clouds” before everything cleared up.

Even after the ambulance arrived, Sophia continued to help doctors treat Caryn.

Caryn (pictured with her husband) recalled seeing “lying in the driveway, frozen” and “lots of white clouds” before everything turned white.

Caryn called the delivery person (with her family in the picture) her “guardian angel” and added that she likely “wouldn’t have made it if she hadn’t come.”

Speaking to the Post, Caryn called the courier her “guardian angel” and added that she likely “wouldn’t have made it if she hadn’t come.”

“My neurologist said I only have 10 minutes left to live,” Caryn said. “It’s incredible to be here.”

Agent Jodoin exploded as well: “Nobody would have done what Sophia did that night.

“We’ve all worked in this space long enough to see people walk away, run away, walk away, take out their phones or just look.

“Sophia took action, alerted Robert, activated the emergency response system, distributed essential supplies, provided assistance and helped officers facilitate information gathering. She saved a life.

Sophia has been in contact with the Herbert Sullivan family almost daily since the accident.
