Here's The Terrifying Moment A Driver Had A Stroke At The Wheel
Warning: You may find parts of this video distressing. Viewer discretion advised
When someone has a medical issue behind the wheel, the results can be devastating. Thankfully, in the case of this Cadillac driver - who’d seemingly had a stroke at the wheel - the car eventually came to a stop without having hit any other vehicles.
He was spotted by a bike vlogger, with his car already wearing significant damage and a flat tyre. He’s seen weaving on and off the road, even hitting a lamppost at one point. After driving onto the verge one more time, the Cadillac dug its front wheels into the dirt and finally stopped. It wasn’t until the biker and other bystanders got to the man and turned the engine off that the wheels stopped turning.
It didn’t take long for the good Samaritans to work out that he’d had a stroke, and paramedics were quickly on the scene. According to the uploader, the driver was said to be “home and recovering” four days after this was filmed.
It’s a scary video to watch, but it’s great to see so many people stop to help.

I hope the guy is alright
Glad so many pulled over to help. Faith in humanity restored :)
Hope he makes a full recovery too!!
Biker screaming stop😂😂😂 Jeez just use hand signals no need to scream.
Couldn’t help wondering if he was on cruise control or somehow kept his foot applied to the gas pedal the whole time. You’d think that if the airbags triggered then it would auto-cancel cruise control, but there’s no evidence that happened.

This is honestly pretty damn scary…
This happen to my dad two years ago,. It was not this bad, he could managed to get off the highway and he went on a parking lot to rest, after a few minutes a truck driver ask him to move 2 meters forward so he could drive off and my father crash in the car in front, the police came and there were thinking he was under the influence of alcohol, he call a friend that came 15 minutes later and drove him to the Hospital instantly. After this story, I think that today there is not enough prevention about strokes more people are kill by this that car crashed, Today my dad has a reduce view angle. He and the police didn’t recognize the stroke…
What is a stroke?
