Not many people can say they owe their lives to a near speeding ticket. But 86-year-old Gavin Falconer can. He was pulled over Saturday by a police officer in Kennebunk, Maine. But shortly after handing over his license and registration, Falconer suffered an apparent heart attack and slumped over without a pulse. Police say Officer Matthew Harrington quickly transitioned from writing out a warning for the speeding infraction to administering CPR. A second officer then arrived with a defibrillator. Falconer was brought to a hospital and is recovering. He tells Wmtw-tv that he hopes to see the officer again and thank him.
