Clark pulled the man out of his car and began performing CPR, while WPXI reporter Cara Sapida called 911.

Washington Police Chief Chris Lupino told WPXI that when officers arrived, they took over compressions. He said the man was eventually revived after medics administered a dose of Narcan.

An officer at the scene said if it weren’t for Clark beginning CPR prior to their arrival, the man likely would have died.

Lupino said officers at the scene discovered what they believed to be heroin in the man’s car.

“We have been getting a high amount of overdoses in the last month,” he said.

Lupino said so far they haven’t been able to narrow down the source to a certain stamp bag or dealer.
