A 61 year-old man remains in a critical condition tonight after saving a nine year-old girl from injury during a bicycle collision in Wyoming yesterday afternoon.
Police say the pair were riding near Brooks Avenue when they crashed into one another and the man grabbed the girl to avoid impact with the ground.
Moments later he suffered a heart attack.
Witnesses performed CPR at the scene, before the man was flown from Gosford to Royal North Shore Hospital.

Dad passed away this morning but was able to donate 2 kidneys to save even more people. Love you so much daddy.
Sorry to hear the news, but am grateful for the donation of his kidneys as a wife of a husband waiting many years on the list for some, what a lovely family you have from trying to help the girl now to this well done
Thanks so much Lissa it meant so much to us to make sure he saved as many lives as he could. He’s the reason I’m a paramedic. I’ll pray for u guys for a kidney. I can’t imagine how hard the wait is. Good luck!
So sorry for your loss and in such tragic circumstances. May god bless you for your families wonderful gift of donating his kidneys. Life changing.
He was a wonderful man and we will miss him greatly. I am not surprised at all that he was a registered doner, he always put others first. Best of luck to you Lissa and your husband x
Still can’t believe the family of the girl he saved has not bothered to thank us or contact us in any way. Unbelievable!
