A GROUP of Warrington high school pupils came to the rescue of a woman who had collapsed in the street - and could have saved her life.
The five pupils from Culcheth High School ran for help to a nearby restaurant, used their own coats to keep the woman warm and replied to missed calls on her mobile phone to let her family know what had happened.
They waited for an ambulance and members of the woman's family to arrive - and then modestly left the scene.
They did not mention the incident at school and staff would not have known anything about it but for a Facebook comment by Paul Linderman, proprietor of the Duckegg Bluu restaurant in Culcheth, where they went for help
The incident was on November 5 and the youngsters were walking home from a fireworks party when they found the woman lying on the pavement in Warrington Road, Culcheth.
They could not rouse her - so one went to the restaurant for help.
A Culcheth High spokeswoman said: "The five students have been praised by school staff for their prompt actions, which could have saved the woman's life.
"But they modestly don't want any further recognition."
