An 87-year-old driver suffered a medical emergency while behind the wheel in Weingarten on Thursday. The incident led to a swift response from bystanders, who took immediate action to help the man before paramedics arrived.
The emergency unfolded as the elderly driver became incapacitated while driving. His car came to a stop on a curb, drawing the attention of nearby witnesses. Without hesitation, they called emergency services and grabbed a hammer to break the vehicle's window.
Once inside, the bystanders performed CPR on the unconscious man until medical professionals reached the scene. The driver was then rushed to hospital for urgent treatment.
