A seven-year-old boy saved his grandfather's life by calling 9-1-1. The two were out for a drive in Chilliwack at the time of the incident.

On October 27, a 9-1-1 operator received the call. The boy stated his grandpa suddenly pulled over, started to shake violently and that he was sweating.  He said that his grandpa was just laying in the drivers seat and he couldn't wake him up.

The boy is being hailed as a hero for keeping a cool head and for calling 9-1-1. Here is a portion of the call:
