A seven-year-old boy stopped the car
and used his father's phone to call for aid after the man had a
heart attack and slumped over the wheel in Bolzano on August 15,
the Corriere dell'Alto Adige newspaper reported Wednesday.
The boy pulled his dad's foot off the accelerator and engaged
the hand brake before grabbing the phone and calling emergency
services after the 58-year-old man had the heart attack, it
said.
The man, who only had time to tell the boy he felt ill before
collapsing, was taken to hospital where he is now said to be in
good condition.
