Unsuccessful Resuscitation Attempts
To avoid the impending collision, the motorcyclist had to swerve abruptly. He veered off the road, crashed heavily, and lay motionless in the roadside ditch. A doctor who happened to be present immediately began resuscitation efforts, but these were unfortunately unsuccessful.
