HUDSON, N.Y. (WESH) — A quick-acting police officer broke a car window in an attempt to save the life of a woman believed to be frozen to death.
But it turned out that she was actually a CPR mannequin.
About 8:30 a.m. Friday morning, Hudson, New York, police received a call from a "very upset citizen" who said an older woman was alone in a parked car and appeared to be frozen to death.
The woman was in the front passenger's seat with what appeared to be an oxygen mask on.
Temperatures were bitterly cold Friday morning -- only about 8 degrees -- and the car was covered with a light dusting of snow, indicating it may have been parked overnight.
An officer said the woman was not moving and was unresponsive. He broke the rear passenger window and opened the car door.
The sergeant discovered the woman was actually a very realistic, life-sized CPR mannequin.
The car's owner eventually arrived at the scene and told police he was a sales manager for a company that makes medical training equipment.
