People are rarely thankful when they get pulled over by police.  However, this Kalamazoo, Michigan woman is very grateful she was pulled over by a cop.  Officer Jason Gates pulled over the woman after she ran a red light, little did he know this routine traffic stop was going to save the life of the woman behind the wheel.

The woman was choking on a hotdog, and as Gates approached her vehicle, he could see she was in distress.  He asked if she was choking, hit her on the back, and then got her out of the car.
Using the good old fashion Heimlich Maneuver, a few thrusts cleared her air pipes.

Just in case you're wondering, no she didn't get a ticket.
