What should i do if someone has a seizure while driving?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try to pull over: If you are a passenger, try to direct the car to the side of the road for safety. Help the driver be on his side so that anything in the mouth will fall forward. If possible and the mouth is open, sweep a finger to clear the mouth to prevent aspiration. Protect against hitting anything hard. Do not restrict movements because you might cause an extremity to dislocate or break a bone. Call 911.
