Overview

• Rescuers were alerted around 23:05 after a car went off the road in Osterfeld and ended up almost fully submerged, with only the roof visible.
• The vehicle reportedly lost control in a curve at Einbleckstraße and Breilstraße, broke through a fence by a bridge, and slid down an embankment into the water.
• The 17- and 18-year-old occupants freed themselves from the car and were taken to hospital for treatment of light injuries.
• Officers found no indications of alcohol or drug use at the scene, and the driver’s identity is being withheld for investigative reasons.
• Fire and police are coordinating how to recover the car from the canal embankment, a technically difficult operation expected to be attempted today.
