Hennef-Stein -
The 70-year-old senior from Rommerskirchen had traveled as a driving instructor insurance expert meeting to Hennef-Blankenberg.
After the event he got into his black VW Passat, but his goal he never reached. On an incline just past Blankenberg the man suddenly loses control of his cars
The dark Passat moved to a left turn without brakes on the opposite lane and rammed the guardrail to the left of the track. Several motorists are trying to help the unconscious, but they must give up in frustration: the driver's door is blocked by the guard rail, the other locked doors. Anxious minutes pass: Only when the police arrive, it is possible to open the car doors.
Officials there can already perceive no pulse and no breathing more, begin immediately with resuscitation until the arrival of the emergency services. However, despite all efforts - after half an hour, an emergency physician to determine only the death of the man.
Because of witness statements and the track position is the police believe that the senior, who wanted to undergo a vascular surgery next week, suffered a heart attack, and therefore went into the guard rail. The K19 was blocked for nearly two hours.
