A postal worker saved a Cobb County man she found facedown in his driveway after he slipped on ice Monday.
"He probably would have died," mail carrier Amanda Price told Channel 2 Action News.
Jack Bostic, 67, was clearing the ice from a winter storm that rolled through metro Atlanta over the weekend so he could get to a doctor's appointment the next day.
Price told the television station her mail truck had gotten stuck already one that day while on her route of 700 customers.
No one knows how long he was lying in his steep driveway, but when Price drove by, she hopped out of her mail truck to find him with no pulse before calling 911.
“I had to roll him over and do CPR,” she said.
And Bostic’s wife is sure glad the woman did.
Price kept on the CPR until emergency crews came with a defibrillator.
Mattie Bostic has been married to her husband, who was taken to WellStar Kennestone Hospital, for 39 years.
The wife said she knows the impression folks have of winter in the south, but said it can get scary down here.
“I know a lot of people say, ‘Oh, you people in Georgia,’ but we get ice and it is dangerous,” she told Channel 2.
Price said she’s praying for the man’s recovery.
