A British grocery store delivery driver saved a woman’s life after she didn’t answer the door and he got the feeling that “something was wrong”.
Leandro Pinto Dantas sensed there was a problem and decided to go back for another look in the window—and only then spotted her lying unconscious on the floor.
It was around 9:00pm in the coastal town of Poole in southern England when the driver for an Asda store arrived at his next delivery.
“Everything seemed normal,” said the 36-year-old. “The light was on and the TV was on. I knocked on the door but didn’t get an answer, so I called the contact number we had for the delivery but got no reply.
“I thought at first they must have gone out, so I looked in the window, but no one was coming.
He turned to go, but “something didn’t feel right.
“I believe God made me go back to the window. I pushed some branches away, so I could get a better look, and that’s when I saw the lady face down on the floor.”
He quickly called for an ambulance and paramedics were soon on the scene and gave the diabetic woman some glucose to raise her blood sugar.

Leandro wasn’t even scheduled to work that night, but he swapped shifts with another driver at the last minute.
“I think it was fate that I was called there that day,” Leandro told SWNS news agency. “I’m just happy that I was there and saved her.”
While she was being examined by emergency workers, Leandro put the lady’s groceries away. And a few days later he visited her home to see how she was doing and brought her some flowers.
The woman, in her 60s, was taken to the hospital with low blood pressure, but was discharged the next day. She was so grateful to Leandro that she wrote a letter to the local newspaper, the Bournemouth Daily Echo, to thank him.
“Leandro is such a wonderful chap,” she said. “I can’t thank him enough.
“He did a marvelous job… certainly going above and beyond what I would expect supermarket delivery drivers to do. He even came round later with flowers for me.”

The delivery driver has now been nominated for an Asda ‘Service Superstar’ award.
“We are so very proud of the way he handled the delivery,” said Heidi Mallinson, the store’s online trading manager. “And his instinct that something was amiss.”
“He truly is a hero and went totally above and beyond, which in turn probably saved the customer’s life.”
