ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10<\/a>) \u2013 What would you do if you were driving down the highway and saw someone on the side of the road having a medical emergency? For off-duty paramedic Chelsea Noe, the answer was easy, and could have saved a life Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Chelsea Noe is originally from the Albany area, but now works as a paramedic in Newburgh. She\u2019s used to saving lives, but never thought she\u2019d be doing it on the side of a busy highway, Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Wednesday morning she was driving through the Capital Region on her way to a doctor\u2019s appointment when she saw something she knew wasn\u2019t right.<\/p>\n

Noe says she was driving on 787 between exits 3 and 4, when she saw a man being pulled from his car on the side of the road. The man appeared lifeless.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when she pulled over to help, and jumped into action.<\/p>\n

The man, who has now been identified as 70-year-old Robert Guynup of Rennsslear, had no pulse.<\/p>\n

Noe started to administer first aid to Guynup, with the help of Ian Henry, a State Trooper, and another person trained in CPR.<\/p>\n

They gave the man CPR and shocked him with a defibrillator, and were eventually able to restore his pulse.<\/p>\n

Battalion Chief William Moore, says the sooner CPR is started, the more likely somebody is to survive, so Noe and the others could have saved Guynup\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe and the other paramedic made a difference as to whether or not this guy lived or not,\u201d said Moore.<\/p>\n

He says the Capital Region should feel safer knowing people like Noe are around.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt should make every single one of us a little bit more comfortable in knowing that there are people who are willing to stop and render help in situations like this,\u201d said Moore.<\/p>\n

Noe says it\u2019s a true show of the comradery in the Capital Region.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an honor to come back into the city today and be able to see that the community still exists, and that we were able to help out an individual that needed our help who was lifeless,\u201d said Noe. \u201cHe may now possibly have a chance at life, and family members may be able to share more memories with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Albany Fire Department and Mohawk Ambulance arrived on scene shortly after, and the man was taken to the hospital.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
