    Cough, pass out, wreck, and then drown after all the rest! Good thing that there were witnesses to save him from the drowning part!

    well it was said, "no history of blacking out" so now he should be fully examined to find any conditions he may now have. if i were the owner, i'd forbid him to drive till he got full clearance from a doctor I SENT him to.

    Does anyone know if they do sleep studies in Australia for truck drivers?

    My cousin was coughing driving his pickup and passed out but luckily enough ended up casually cruising into the ditch and stopping

    Oxygen starvation is hell on the brain. Glad he made it through that unscathed.

    Ive coughed so hard for so long that I felt as if I would black out. It can happen. I ended up bruising my lungs. Very painful.
