Car rolled into the water: Kyritz's fire department on duty at night!

On the night of Wednesday, July 16, 2025, the quiet Untersee in Kyritz, in the Ostprignitz-Ruppin district, became the scene of a mysterious incident. Shortly before midnight, an alert angler observed a vehicle rolling uncontrollably into the water. He immediately alerted the rescue workers, who then rushed to the bathing area at Untersee in several vehicles. [Moz] reports that the fire department arrived immediately and began investigating the situation.

The first responders actually found a car in the water, not far from a jetty. A firefighter put on his wetsuit and jumped into the cool water to search for possible occupants. But it quickly became clear: there was no one in the car. The owner of the vehicle, a 57-year-old woman, along with her husband, were initially unavailable, which made the situation even more mysterious. Three other people at the lake also did not observe the incident. [MAZ] describes that the fire brigade and police simultaneously took extensive safety measures to prevent the vehicle from slipping further.

Police are investigating

The police have started an investigation and are now checking whether it was an accident or perhaps even an intentional act. It remains unclear at the moment what exactly led to the incident. Environmentally conscious citizens can breathe a sigh of relief: As [Moz] reports, no environmentally hazardous fluids escaped from the vehicle, so the lake fortunately remained unharmed.

As part of the further measures, the fire brigade checked the vehicle for possible dangers using flashlights and technical aids. The recovery of the car is scheduled for the current day, although the exact time has not yet been announced. The criminal investigation department will investigate the incident in more detail to clarify the exact circumstances of this incident.

Traffic accidents in focus

The entry in the accident statistics could be important for those responsible. Every year [Destatis] records a large number of traffic accidents in order to gain important insights into road safety. These statistics are not only the basis for legislative measures, but are also important for traffic education and infrastructure planning. The incident at Untersee may seem like an isolated incident at first glance, but it shows once again how quickly unexpected situations can arise.

In the colorful world of traffic, one thing can be said for sure: safety comes first, and the educational work of the authorities is extremely important in order to avoid further such incidents. The next steps in the investigation remain to be seen, and residents hope for a quick clarification of this mysterious situation at Untersee.
