A 27-year-old’s car rolled into the Elbe in the Laubegast district of Dresden and sank. As the fire department announced on Monday, the driver parked his car on Laubegaster Ufer for a short time on Sunday evening and went to a pizzeria. A little later, passers-by came into the restaurant and said that a car was floating in the Elbe. The man could only watch as his car sank.
Police and fire departments were called to search for the car using a lifeboat. Due to the high level of the Elbe, the speed of the current and the changed course of the river, the search was reportedly difficult and was called off after around an hour. According to the fire department, the water level in the Elbe was around 4.50 meters at the time. The water police took over the further search measures. It was initially unclear why the car ended up in the river.
