Officer jumps into action to help pregnant woman suffering cardiac arrest behind the wheel

A Philadelphia police officer didn't miss a beat when a frantic husband flagged him down to help his wife, who had suddenly gone into cardiac arrest behind the wheel.

On the side of a busy South Philadelphia intersection, Officer Dennis Smith went to work trying to save two lives: Mark Kauffman's wife, Sarah, and their unborn daughter.

"She was always healthy, and the last thing on my mind was anything like this," said Mark Kauffman.

Kauffman has been at the hospital bedside of his wife Sarah and newborn daughter, Ellie. He says she had a heart attack while stopped at a traffic light at 26th and Penrose Avenue.
