According to Muenchner Merkur (via Jalopnik), 41-year-old Manfred Kick was driving his Tesla Model S when he noticed a man in a Volkswagen driving erratically on the Autobahn near Munich, Germany. When Kick realized the man was unconscious, he pulled in front of the Volkswagen and slowly braked until both cars came to a stop.
He then entered the Volkswagen and gave the man first aid, while some people who stopped called emergency services. The man, who appeared to have suffered a stroke, was taken to the hospital and is stable, the German police said Tuesday.
The German police are conducting a formal investigation against Kick, as is always the case after an accident. However, according to a policeman handling the case, he is more likely to get an award for his bravery than a fine.
Congrats to the Tesla owner who sacrificed damage to his own car to bring a car with an unconscious driver safely to a stop!
