Usually when you receive a wrong-number call your first instinct is to just hang up. But a man in Colorado stood on his call long enough to help a misdialing woman in Ohio get emergency medical assistance.

Loretta Smith, 70, of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, said she grew concerned when the right side of her body stopped responding. Smith said she fell to the floor and feared she was suffering from a stroke, the Akron Beacon Journal reported.

According to the publication, Smith then used her left leg to kick over a table with a phone on it and tried to call her son. But Smith said she misdialed by one number and reached Kenny Crater, 28, formerly of Barberton, Ohio, who is now a college student in Denver.

"It was a woman and she said 'I may be having a stroke,'" Crater told the newspaper.

The newspaper reported that Crater didn't change his Ohio-based phone number when he relocated to Denver, which ended up working to his advantage when he dialed 911 from the phone and reached emergency officials in Ohio.

Crater served as an intermediary and passed on the woman's address to emergency dispatchers and called the woman's son in Ohio so he could help as well.

Smith was rushed to a Cuyahoga Falls hospital and is being treated after doctors confirmed that she suffered a mini-stroke, according to the Akron Beacon Journal.

She praised Crater for not hanging up on her, and said she will forever be thankful for his actions.

"I do not feel like I have done anything special," Crater told the newspaper. "I didn't save her. She found me. She kind of saved herself -- I made a phone call."
