A motorist who passed out from a heroin overdose while driving on northbound I-43 in Glendale this week was revived by other motorists, the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office said Friday.

A passenger in the 51-year-old Beaver Dam man's vehicle was able to steer it to the side of the road Thursday at Bender Road, where the other motorists stopped to render aid, according to a news release.

The man was taken to a hospital and will be charged with driving under the influence-5th offense/drugs, the release said.
