A scene like in the movie: A car drives straight into the water, sinks slowly, two women inside. This actually happened in Düsseldorf – but with a good outcome.
Düsseldorf – Two young women were able to save themselves in Düsseldorf at the last moment from their car that was sinking in the Rhine.
A police spokesman said that there had apparently been a failed turning maneuver in a parking lot on Friday evening. According to initial findings, the 23-year-old driver accidentally hit the wrong pedal. The car drove straight from the parking lot into the Rhine. The driver and her 24-year-old passenger were able to free themselves from the car and swim to shore, one of the two was slightly injured.
The car sank completely in the Rhine. In the evening it was checked whether there were any problems for shipping and whether the car could be salvaged. dpa
