Lauren Robinson was panic stricken when six-year-old Lian had a fit when she was driving with him and her two other children on Brenda Road, Hartlepool[2], on Friday afternoon. A number of kind people went to their aid until the police and ambulance arrived.

The drama happened near the Stag and Monkey pub just after Lauren, 31, had collected Lian from a Pokemon after school club nearby.

She said: “I was driving along and heard a big thud which was a can of condensed milk I had given Lian to hold. “I just thought he had gone to sleep but then he kicked a can of Pepsi and I saw him flopping about and his head went back. “He wasn’t responding.

I just pulled up on the central reservation and jumped out the car. “I started screaming for help. It was horrific.”
