2.01.07 - 11.15am: AN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD boy helped his dad out of a life-threatening situation while they were driving on the motorway.
The youngster, called Jago, directed an ambulance to the M5 after his father fell into a coma in their car on Friday.
Neil Stewart, of Cornwall, suffered a diabetic attack but managed to pull into a lay-by.
Jago rang his mother who called 999. The boy then used the car's satellite navigation to tell emergency services where they were near the Clevedon junction of the motorway.
Mr Stewart was taken to Weston General Hospital by ambulance and released the following day.
