Many years ago when going from Grande Prairie to Edmonton for a concert on a charter bus, our driver had a stroke behind the wheel. We almost side swiped a semi in the oncoming lane (and huge credit to the semi driver; not sure how he moved in time) and we were knocking down those lane markers that are on the side of the road. However our driver was still lucid enough that he thought we were trying to hijack the bus when we were pulling him out of his seat.
Having seen it first hand, I can see how it's possible that the driver had some sort of attack but still managed to try the brakes at the last second. Or as Cuz pointed out; at least taken his foot off the gas.
