Fall into Vorarlberg's Kopssee: Search for 72-Year-Old Continues
Over the weekend, extensive measures were continued, including the use of a special diving robot, a towing sonar, and several deep-sea divers. So far, the efforts have been unsuccessful, and the search is set to continue on Tuesday with additional technical equipment, according to the police.
Neither the vehicle nor the missing person have been found so far
So far, neither the vehicle nor the missing person have been located. According to the authorities, the 72-year-old hunter intended to drive to his hunting lodge on Thursday around 8:00 PM. He took the road that runs directly over the dam of the reservoir, which is situated at an altitude of 1,809 meters. However, at the end of the road, he lost control of his car for unknown reasons. The car plunged down a steep embankment into the lake and sank.
A following hunter saw the headlights in the lake and immediately alerted the emergency services. The low visibility in the water, the low water temperatures, and the great depth of the reservoir make the operation extraordinarily difficult. Numerous personnel from the police, fire department, water rescue, and the Red Cross are involved in the search.
