THERE are long tailbacks along a busy Southampton road after emergency services attended to a man who collapsed at the wheel of his car.
Police and ambulance were on the scene on West Quay Road, near the Grand Harbour Hotel at 10.10am today.
The man, thought to be in his 50s, was taken to Southampton General Hospital.

I think your comment is blatantly stupid and not well thought out.
And pay some respect? To a total stranger who you do not even know? Respect is earnt and not given out freely.

I have just read some of the comments that have been posted on here and I cannot believe some people. There was only a few of us that stopped today, myself being one of those and a few passers by. There were cars still driving by beeping and moaning even though they could see we were performing emergency CPR in the middle of the road to keep him alive. Yes it might have been in the middle of West Quay Road and yes your day to day lifes might have been held up as you were stuck in traffic but how would you feel if it was you. Wouldn't you like people to stop and help you? Would you be glad that somebody actually took the time of day and stop to maybe, just maybe help you to live?
