Rick was outside his home in Oslo when he suffered a heart attack and fell to the ground. His grandson saw a mail carrier driving by and flagged him down. The mail carrier, 29-year-old Jake Craik, was filling in that day, and does not normally work that route. He also just so happens to be CPR certified. Craik says he was just in the right place at the right time. Craik did CPR on Rick until an ambulance arrived. Rick says the CPR the mail carrier performed saved his life.
