Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Horace Crocker and Neville Gosse from Channel-Port aux Basques in my riding of Random—Burin—St. George's, and both are in the gallery.
Recently Horace and Neville, both employees with Newfoundland Power Incorporated, stopped at the scene of a serious road collision they came upon while at work.
The driver of a dirt bike had collided with a truck, leaving the driver of the bike in critical condition.
Horace and Neville recognized the seriousness of the situation when they saw the injured man bleeding profusely. They turned him over and ensured his airway was not blocked while making sure his broken leg remained stationary.
They did this while securing the area and protecting the injured man from oncoming traffic until the RCMP and ambulance arrived.
This evening, I will have the honour to participate in presenting the Canadian Electricity Association's Lifesaving Award to Horace and Neville.
I ask all members to join me in congratulating both men on their valiant actions, which resulted in a life being saved.
