The biennial auto show here kicked off on an inauspicious note with the BMW Group Chairman Harald Krueger collapsing while giving presentation on the company’s new product line-up. The automaker later said he was “recovering well”. Krueger, who fell on his back as he stumbled backward just before starting his presentation about the company’s new line-up, was helped off the stage by staff. BMW’s presentation was the first in a series of press conferences lined up by various automakers for the day. Initially staff at the stage played down the incident, but later the company in a statement said Krueger had experienced “dizziness” and his health was stable.
