McDonald's Employee Jumps Through Drive-Thru Window To Save Off-Duty Officer

March 18, 2017

A McDonald's employee is being called a hero after he jumped through the restaurant's drive-thru window to assist an unconscious off-duty police officer as her vehicle rolled away.

Pedro Viloria was stationed at his post behind the drive-thru window when a woman — who turned out to be an off-duty Miami-Dade police officer — pulled up in an SUV to order breakfast for herself and her two children. After preparing the order, Viloria returned to the window and noticed that the driver was struggling to breathe.

Soon after, the woman lost consciousness, her foot slipped from the brake, and her SUV began to roll down the drive-thru lane.

Viloria immediately went into "hero mode" and jumped through the restaurant's drive-thru window.

A second McDonald's employee, along with paramedics who were in the restaurant, helped to revive the woman at the scene.

She was then taken to the hospital for additional treatment.
