When police arrived, the 31-year-old had fallen off her bike and was displaying signs of overdose. 

Officers delivered two doses of Naloxone and continued to monitor her while awaiting paramedics, who then transported her to the hospital. 

“We want to thank the complainant for calling police right away,” said Cpl. Nancy Saggar, West Shore RCMP Media Relations Officer. “The immediate medical attention the frontline officers were able to provide undoubtedly saved this woman’s life.”
