Police save David Lee Roth’s life

Two fast thinking Canadian cops reportedly saved the life of Van Halen’s David Lee Roth.

The rocker was pulled over in Ontario, Canada for speeding, but when police approached the vehicle, they realized Roth was in anaphylactic shock and reacted quickly.

Roth has an allergy to nuts and was suffering a severe reaction. No word on how or why David ate or came into contact with the nuts.

According to CTV.ca, the officers called an ambulance and kept Roth calm until paramedics arrived on the scene.

Officer Chris Thompson admits he didn’t realize that he was dealing with a famous rock star when he attended to the crisis.

He tells of the encounter, “At the time I wasn’t star struck, I was just trying to help him. The guy stuck out like a sore thumb. He was wearing a little silk scarf and flashy clothing – it’s not something you see in Oakland too often.”
