Car Ended Up in Swimming Lake with Pensioner in Tulln

A pensioner plunged into a bathing lake with her car in Tulln on Friday. Upon the arrival of the emergency services, the vehicle was already drifting several meters from the shore and gradually filling with water. Two firefighters paddled to the woman in an inflatable boat and rescued her through an open window from the sinking car. For further examination, she was taken to the hospital, the fire brigade reported on Saturday.

Car Recovered from Tulln Bathing Lake

The pensioner apparently rolled with her car from her driveway across the road and into the adjacent bathing lake - the reason was initially unclear. After bringing the woman ashore, the firefighters recovered the partially sunken vehicle. According to the fire brigade, special caution was required due to the high weight from the water inside the vehicle.
