OK I am coming out of the truck stop store and a guy was on his way in, he passes out and slams his face into the ground and looses bladder control. He comes to but visibly shaken sweating and pale. We help him up and he refuses to let us call 911.
About an hour later I see him walking across the parking lot and get into his truck.
What should I do?
1. Nothing
2. Call his trucking company and inform them
3. Call the local police and inform them.
4. Or you tell me what I should do.
This just happened and the truck is parked about 100 feet away from me.
What would you do?

This guy has something wrong and is not safe to be on the road. -
We can't have some driver losing consciousness while going down the road with 80K next to a family in a 4 wheeler and killing them and possibly himself in the process. Get on the horn and get this driver to a doctor pronto!!!

Call 911 NOW! What you are describing sounds like a PERFECT desciption of a grand mal seizure!! How do I know? My brother has them! Call 911!

That was my first though to Weatherlady , No not safe at all to drive on the road!! If thats what it was, there is always a post ictal state, of drowsiness and confusion, can last several hours, to days. Definately get this person some help, may need a med, or may need med dosage changed. I have a relative, who has them, and my client of 3 years also has them.

Parked 100 feet away from you? Then go talk to the driver about your concerns.
