Police said the man was driving with his mother in the central North Island on Tuesday when their vehicle skidded off the road and down a steep bank. But what really set it off was the fact he was eating a chocolate bar and he started to choke," Hawke's Bayroad policing spokesman Grant Marshall told Stuff. "He applied the brakes to pull over, but he got into a skid and that's when they went off the side of the road." "We're gob smacked as to how they survived this," Marshall said. The utility vehicle was a write-off and remained in the Waipunga River.
