With a lightning-fast reaction, a truck driver in Neuss very likely saved an unconscious woman driver from worse.
"The professional driver came in the morning on a bridge that leads over the A 57, a car lurching heavily," said a police spokeswoman on Monday in Neuss.
With a “unique” steering maneuver, the 49-year-old managed to stop the woman's car between his truck and the guardrail.
"That can be described as a heroic deed," said the spokeswoman.
With another driver he then took care of the 57-year-old, who soon regained consciousness.
Witnesses to the incident had initially reported an accident: a truck trapped a car.
On site, however, it quickly became apparent to the officials that it was an extraordinary rescue maneuver.
The woman came to a hospital to investigate the cause of her fainting, and her car was towed away.
The WDR had reported first.
