In the Bregenzerwald in Vorarlberg, the search for a driver is currently in full swing. The 42-year-old is said to have crashed with his car in the flooded Mellenbach on Sunday. The car has been found, but there is no trace of the man.
A tragic accident happened in the early morning hours in the Bregenzerwald. According to the police, a 42-year-old man crashed with his car the Mellenbach, which was flooded by the continuous rain. The bodies of water swept away the car and then washed it into the Bregenzer Ache up to the Klaus plot in Mellau. The car was spotted on Sunday morning, but there was no trace of the driver.
A large-scale search has so far failed
26 people from the water rescue services Bregenzerwald, Bregenz, Hohenems and Dornbirn, ten emergency services from the Egg fire brigade, the police helicopter, the Maritime Police Hard and several police patrols searched for the 42-year-old on Sunday – but without success. The action had to be stopped when it got dark, but resumed Monday morning.
Why the man drove his car into the Mellenbach is still under investigation. According to the police, the scrapped vehicle cannot be recovered until the flooding has subsided.
