The Philadelphia man, who recently started working as a Uber driver, helped save his passenger’s life, experienced brain bleeding.
“I feel someone would have done it,” Taras Zvir, 38, humbly tells people about his heroic act. “I don’t know. I think I was growing up to help. You just do it. You don’t think about it, you just do.”
February 25 In the morning, Zvir, who drives Uber as a side concert while he started his company, chose a passenger named Justin Anderson, 41, Philadelphia. Anderson’s goal was Bucks County, where his job is.
“We just started talking about music and other things,” recalls Zvir about 45 minutes of hike. “And he mentioned that he [drove for] Uber too. So we only talked a little about it. “
While listening to music and approaching the end of the journey, Zvir noticed that Anderson’s head was tilted and appeared as if “suffocated.”
“His head was up and down, but he was still in contact,” Zvir recalls. “I was [like]”Justin, you are fine? Do you need something? I immediately turned the windows down, burst my air conditioner to try to find out if it will make him feel a little better. But it just worsened and worse, and eventually became unresponsive.”

Zvir immediately called 911 and described Anderson’s symptoms to the dispatcher, who told him he needed to perform CPR right away. Fortunately, Zvir knew the CPR since the former ambulance driver’s time.
“I was driving around the car,” he says. “I opened the door, put it flat, I made sure his head did not hit the concrete because he had no support or nothing. So when I put it, I just started to do CPR and did it for maybe six to eight minutes.”
With his relief, Zvir heard the sounds of the sirens in the distance when he continued to perform the rescue to Anderson. Then he stopped when he arrived.
“They immediately started working with him,” Zvir recalls. “They were doing narcan. They weren’t sure whether it was a drug overdose or a medical situation, so I think they had to cover everything.”
Anderson’s mother Deborah later wrote in Gofundme that her son had spontaneous brain bleeding. After the hospital, a computed tomography in the hospital showed a major bleeding in the right part of his brain. She added that her son had undergone a craniotomy procedure to facilitate his brain pressure.
“Justin was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma (brain bleeding), which was found due to AV fistula (abnormal connection between artery and vein) with which he was probably born, but never knew he had,” Deborah wrote.
“Due to the amount of blood from the subdural hematoma, the pressure in its brain caused a pressure that caused the middle line shift and some damage to the brain tissue,” she continued.
At the time, Anderson was unconscious but made some progress. March 29 In the update, Deborah wrote that her son was able to blink twice when he asked him two questions.
“It never happened,” she wrote. “It definitely gives me more hope.”
Debora said Anderson was the father of a 17-year-old girl and just started a new job during her medical care. She said she was lucky that her son was not himself when he suffered from bleeding.
“If he had been alone at home, he would not be here today,” she wrote. “If he hadn’t been at the end of that Uber, he wouldn’t be here today. He was just a Uber because he had to go home from work with his assigned work. Otherwise, he would be driving his car. I am also grateful for the fast Uber driver’s response to the call 911. “
Zvir says he was in contact with Debora and hopes to see her son
“I really want to meet him,” he says about Anderson. “And I also want to make sure he is recovering. I actually sent his mother to just get his renewal. So I keep in touch with his family and hope he is withdrawn.”
Anderson’s mother, created by Gofundme, hopes to raise money to pay for her son’s medical accounts and other costs. People contacted Deborah Anderson to comment.
Looking at now, Zvir says he didn’t think that what he had done was something special. “I saw someone needed help and I just helped. That’s it,” he says.
