#IAA: BMW CEO Collapses On Stage During Presentation At Frankfurt Motor Show

Krueger, 49, fell to the floor as he was commenting on BMW's latest models during a news conference. Two men escorted him off stage. Kruger was able to walk.

A witness at the front of the event told Automotive News Europe that Krueger “looked dizzy, grabbed his head and fell back on the floor.”

I probably would have done the same thing if the first thing I saw in the morning was an i8...hideous looking car...

Anyway, it appears it was due to fatigue and heavy traveling, get some rest and take care of yourself Krueger.

The official word is that he fainted after he saw the window sticker which was left on one of the BMWs.

Considering he's the CEO, that sticker price would of overwhelmed him with pleasure and instead of fainting, he'd engage in another...more "messy" gesture...

I hope he's okay and that it's not a symptom of something more serious and I hope he didn't hit his head on the floor.

Glad someone has a shred of decency in them.

Hoping Krueger gets well soon and that it is nothing serious.

He fainted when he received a text from Elon Musk offering him $20 million a year plus $100 million in stock options to take the CEO job and "save" Tesla.

....Or else the BMW i8 he was standing in front of, was radiating an electromagnetic pulse in his direction, which caused him to get disoriented.
