Gwinnett Police helicopter pilots provide CPR

Pilots for the Gwinnett County Police Department's Aviation Unit handled a different sort of task Tuesday when they landed to help an unconscious man.

They were on a routine patrol flight when dispatched to Shawnee Industrial Avenue near Suwanee.

A man was unresponsive in a locked car that had rolled into a grassy field, and two citizens beside it were trying to open the door. The pilots landed in a parking lot nearby. A pilot then ran to the car, broke the window and rendered CPR. The 33-year-old man was transported to a local hospital, where he died.
