    How can you drive that far in shock? Seems like if you can steer, you can stop.

      I don’t know what the medical condition was in this specific situation, but for a heart attack or an aortic dissection the blood flow reduction or interruption can (not necessarily always) cause a loss of sensation and control of the lower limbs; can’t control the gas & brake pedals. Further blood pressure loss can impair the arms and hands; eventually can’t steer. Even more severely, if the ascending aorta is compromised, the carotid arteries at the aortic arch can’t send enough oxygenated blood to the brain; the driver passes out.
      EDIT: It can happen anytime, to anyone, even if someone appears healthy. It’s often hidden or undiagnosed until a big one hits. Actor John Ritter suffered aortic dissection and died 2003. JP MorganChase bank CEO Jamie Dimon also suffered it but survived.
