Car sinks into the Untersee: accident or intentional act in Kyritz?

On the night of Wednesday, July 16th, the emergency services in Kyritz were alerted to a mysterious incident. A car was spotted in the water at Untersee, a popular swimming area in the region. This reported maz-online.de. Shortly before midnight, the fire department and police arrived at the scene with several vehicles to clarify the situation.

The vehicle was discovered in the water near a jetty. As the fire department members announced, the area was searched for possible occupants using flashlights and technical aids. However, to their relief, they couldn't find anyone in the car. To prevent the vehicle from slipping, it was secured with a rope. The environment was also checked for possible dangers. Police have launched an investigation to find out whether it was an accident or an intentional act. The vehicle is expected to be recovered later today.

A tragic traffic accident

On Thursday evening, just one day after the incident at Untersee, a tragic traffic accident occurred on the local road between Barenthin and Berlitt. At around 5:50 p.m., a car left the road for unknown reasons and collided head-on with a tree 7aktuell.de reported. The vehicle immediately caught fire and the occupant could no longer be rescued alive by the emergency services. The operation of the local fire brigade, which was on site with 21 emergency services, lasted around four hours.

The road from Barenthin to Berlitt was completely closed during the measures, which led to significant backlogs. Further information about the driver and the exact circumstances of the accident are currently pending and the investigation is ongoing.

Road safety in focus
