BMW's CEO faints on stage as he tried to unveil new car

BMW Chief executive, Harald Krueger, 49, fainted just five minutes into his press conference this morning at the Frankfurt auto show where he was to present the car giant's new electric hybrid. The high-powered executive staggered backwards slightly before falling over.

show's commentator said 'I'm a bit lost for words. BMW will try to redo the press conference at a later stage.'
