bouche Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 From canoeTwo Ontario police officers have been credited with saving the life of Van Halen singer David Lee Roth - after he suffered a severe allergic reaction.The rocker was pulled over on a stretch of highway in Oakland, Ontario on June 8 for speeding, and when cops approached the vehicle, they realized the star was in anaphylactic shock.Roth has an allergy to nuts and was suffering a severe reaction after coming into contact with a contaminated substance.The officers called an ambulance and kept Roth calm until paramedics arrived on the scene, according to CTV.ca.Constable Chris Thompson admits he didn't realize that he was dealing with a famous rock star when he attended to the crisis.He says, "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."
