A worker from the Key Lake Uranium Mine has been recognized for his efforts to rescue a man who was found lying on a Prince Albert sidewalk.

Sean Crittendon was driving home when he noticed the fallen man.

He pulled over, saw the man was unresponsive, and called 9-1-1.

By this time another passerby, Mike Lysitza arrived and began performing CPR.

Crittendon says he was later relieved to hear while in the ambulance that they had found the man’s pulse.

The man is still in hospital but said to be on the mend.

Yesterday the two men were personally thanked by the wife of the injured man.
