"In the middle of the night, a call was received at the highway medical rescue station about the health condition of one of the passengers in a car, which was traveling from Almaty to Karaganda," the statement said.
Upon arrival, the emergency medical team diagnosed the man, born in 1981, with "acute pancreatitis," which developed after consuming two cans of an energy drink.
