The driver of the floating sauna and the guests managed to reach the motorists in time and help them from the car to the sauna.
Sinking Tesla
A video of the incident shows how the two people are still sitting helplessly on the roof of the car before the rescue, which is slowly sinking further and further into the fjord.
“One of the guests came running and told me that a car had ended up in the water. I accelerated at full speed towards the people,” the skipper of the sauna boat, Nicholay Nordahl, told the Norwegian newspaper VG.
“With the help of two guests, we pulled them upstairs. They were able to warm up in the sauna.”
‘They saved our lives’
The car’s owner, who was not named, said he thought the car was in parking mode when he pressed the accelerator. “They saved our lives,” he told VG.
The Tesla was then removed from the water by a tow truck.
