The car ended up around 6.20 am in a ditch along the Zomerlindepad, the police write On Facebook. “An attentive local resident almost immediately jumped into the water and was able to get the driver on dry land.”
In addition to being a victim, the motorist soon became a suspect, because a test showed that he was under the influence behind the wheel. Eventually he was taken to the hospital with an ambulance. Nothing has been announced about the nature and severity of his injuries.
Ditch along the footpath
The police are still in the dark how the car ended up in the water exactly. The ditch where the man drove runs along a footpath, where cars are not allowed to drive. The police are investigating, among other things, which route the man has driven exactly, says a police spokesperson.
