Photos: Tragic, BMW’s chief executive faints on stage during his presentation of new electric hybrid car

Harald Krueger, 49, fainted just five minutes into his press conference this morning at the Frankfurt auto show. The high-powered executive staggered backwards slightly before falling over. He looked stunned as he lay on the ground holding his head with his hands. The show's commentator said to the crowd: 'I'm a bit lost for words. 

BMW will try to redo the press conference at a later stage.' Krueger was helped from the stage by two assistants and seen by a doctor, following his 'moment of dizziness'. It is understood that Mr Krueger was feeling unwell before taking to the stage. See more photos below....
