On the morning of this Wednesday (08), a tragic incident was recorded in the city of Montes Claros, in the North of Minas Gerais, when a 47-year-old man died after suffering a respiratory arrest while driving. The incident also resulted in an accident, with the Nissan Frontier truck he was driving colliding with vehicles parked on the road.
The accident happened around 7 am, according to information from the Fire Department. The man, whose name was not released, reportedly suffered a foreign body airway obstruction (OVACE), causing him to go into respiratory arrest. Unfortunately, the condition progressed to cardiorespiratory arrest, resulting in his death.
When firefighters arrived at the scene, they found the man unconscious, receiving chest compressions from a doctor who was present. Rescuers from the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU) also provided assistance, carrying out intubation procedures and administering adrenaline in an attempt to reverse the situation, however, without success.
