Following a few seconds dizzy spell, BMW Chief executive, Harald Krueger, fainted on stage during a Press Conference for the unveiling of a new hybrid yesterday.
BMW Chief executive, Harald Krueger, fainted just five minutes into his press conference on Tuesday morning September 15, at the Frankfurt auto show where he was to present the car giant's new electric hybrid.
Krueger staggered backwards slightly before falling over. He looked stunned as he lay on the ground holding his head with his hands.
The show's commentator said to the crowd: 'I'm a bit lost for words. BMW will try to redo the press conference at a later stage.'
Krueger was helped from the stage by two assistants and seen by a doctor, following his 'moment of dizziness'. It is understood that Mr Krueger was feeling unwell before taking to the stage.
