TWO armed response gardaí saved the life of a motorist who had a heart attack while driving, it has emerged.

The elite officers resuscitated the 50-year-old man on the roadside before using a defibrillator to restart his heart.

The gardaí, members of the new Regional Support Unit (RSU), have been commended for their quick actions on a wet and dark night on the main Limerick to Cork road.
