A five-year-old girl came to her mum's rescue after she suffered a seizure at home by calling 999 off her smartwatch, telling operators: "Mummy's fallen off the sofa."

Brave Lola Brisbane raised the alarm using mum Kirsty's Apple watch when she became unwell.

The quick-thinking schoolgirl was praised by ambulance staff for staying calm on the phone and explaining to call handlers what happened.
