Mysterious car accident: Mitsubishi recovered from Neckar!
In Freiberg am Neckar, a car was discovered in the river this morning, which led to extensive deployment by the fire department. Passers-by discovered a Mitsubishi in the Neckar around 6:30 a.m. The Freiberg, Benningen and Pleidelsheim fire departments were immediately alerted with the keyword “water accident” so that quick action could be guaranteed. News of the incident spread quickly and emergency services responded immediately.
The fire department used boats to assess the situation on site. It turned out that there were no people in the vehicle. The water police and the Marbach am Neckar police station supported the emergency services. In order to facilitate the recovery of the vehicle, the German Life Saving Society (DLRG) was called in. This was lowered to the vehicle secured on ropes and worked hand in hand with a rescue company that was requested, which finally lifted the Mitsubishi out of the water.
Cause of incident unclear
It is currently unclear how the car ended up in the river. In addition, the police were unable to locate the driver of the vehicle. The Mitsubishi had been reported stolen in Großsachsenheim the evening before. This raises questions that can only be resolved through further investigation.
The firefighters who were alerted showed their commitment and professionalism during this operation, as they have done on other occasions. For example, the Freiberg fire department was only active in a similar operation on December 3, 2023. At that time, a person fell in the attic, which required an extensive rescue operation. The fire department deployed 21 emergency services and several vehicles to rescue the person with a turntable ladder and transport him to the rescue service vehicle, as Freiberg Fire Department reports.
Emergency services operations in Germany
The fire department's operations in Germany are extremely diverse. According to Statista, the German Fire Brigade Association has recorded an increasing number of rescue service operations in recent years, ranging from technical assistance to water operations. In the period from 2012 to 2022 it turned out that the demand for such help is constantly growing.
The events in Freiberg am Neckar once again illustrate the crucial role of the fire brigade and rescue services in emergency management. Your quick reaction and efficient collaboration can be life-saving in critical situations.
