Minicab slams into side of Terminal 5 after driver suffers heart attack



A minicab has crashed into the side of Heathrow's Terminal 5 after the driver suffered a heart attack.

Images posted to social media appeared to show the black Volkswagen car had hurdled a metal fence and slammed into the side of the building.

The incident occurred after 5am on Monday morning outside the departures entrance to the terminal, an airport spokeswoman told The Independent.

"There was a road incident this morning and the emergency services were called," she said. "One lane of the departures forecourt was closed down and our services were not impacted."

A spokeswoman for the London Ambulance Service said emergency services were called at 5.23am and that a number of paramedic resources were dispatched.

"We treated one patient at the scene, a man reported to be in his sixties, who was in cardiac arrest," she said. "He was taken as a priority to Hillingdon Hospital."

The incident added to the travel chaos caused by thick fog across London on Monday morning, which forced many airlines to cancel flights to and from Heathrow.

Some flights have been diverted to London Gatwick, while London City airport was effectively shut down by the loss of visibility.

I think his vehicle hitting the side of the terminal didn't help but it sounds like help was got to him quickly though

Wonder how many hours he'd been working recently or when he had his last medical, this is very sad but could have been a lot worse no doubt he was on the 12 lane M25 shortly before this occurred.
