As Fox 4 News reported, Wheeler came across the woman near the entrance to the Broadway Medical Building across the street from St. Luke’s Hospital. Jamie Struss was on the ground and had attracted a crowd around her.

Wheeler, 87, knelled down next to Struss.

“He was just very calming, and he made sure I was on my side, covered my hand with his and asking me questions to keep me alert, letting me know my son was OK,” Struss told Fox 4.
