(ORDO NEWS) — In Belgium, a 41-year-old man fell asleep at the wheel and drove 25 kilometers without waking up. It is reported by Times Now News.
The incident occurred on August 14 on the road to the Belgian city of Leuven. According to eyewitnesses, the car was moving at a constant speed, shifting along the lane from left to right. The driver driving in his sleep was reported to emergency services and the police.
When the car was stopped, the police found that the man was still asleep. A medical examination confirmed that he was unharmed.
Law enforcement agencies suspect that the accident was avoided thanks to automation. The car was equipped with a lane keeping system that prevented it from deviating from its course. Meanwhile, the cruise control maintained a constant speed.
