New Mercedes smell may have contributed to sleep apnea
EAGLE, Colorado — “New-car smell” might have contributed to the driver losing consciousness in a hit-and-run accident.
Martin Erzinger was driving a new 2010 Mercedes sedan when he rear-ended bicyclist Dr. Steven Milo, about 1:30 p.m. July 3.
Erzinger's attorneys say their client suffers from sleep apnea and fell asleep at the wheel before driving off U.S. Highway 6 and onto the shoulder near Miller Ranch Road, hitting Milo from behind.
An accident reconstructionist says new-car smell may have contributed to the accident.

Maybe I am mistaken. I thought that sleep apnea does not make you fall asleep. That is narcolepsy.
