Accident in Lake: 29-Year-Old Driver Fatally Crashed

The driver lost control of his vehicle for reasons still unknown shortly after midnight on a right-hand curve on the Walgaustraße (L 50). He collided head-on with a concrete base and then plunged into the Schwarzen See. The driver could only be recovered dead, the police reported on Monday.

Driver Could Only Be Recovered Dead

A police patrol identified a vehicle completely submerged in the water upon arriving at the scene. Two officers immediately attempted to dive to the sunken car, but this was not possible due to the low water temperature and the depth of three to four meters. Divers from the water rescue team recovered the driver from the sunken car shortly before 1:00 a.m. and brought him to the shore. However, resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful, it was reported.
