Post Act of flat-tire kindness saves man’s life.

A driver from Winnipeg, Canada, 61-year-old Victor Giesbrecht, might have saved his own life when he stopped to help a motorist with a flat tire the night of Nov. 5, on I-94 about nine miles east of Menomonie.

Giesbecht and his wife pulled over to help Sara Berg fix a blown-out tire. He finished the job and was just getting back on the road when Berg noticed his wife waving frantically as Giesbecht began having a heart attack.

Well that's a poorly worded story. By the news source not John 1960. It's possible the act of changing the tire was strenuous enough to have caused the heart attack. His wife was waving frantically at him because he was having a heart attack???
