BMW CEO collapses on stage at motor show

Harald Krueger, 49, fainted just five minutes into his press conference this morning at the Frankfurt auto show. The high-powered executive 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.
