Hermetically sealed Mercedes floated before sinking at island Ugljan
Renowned global roadside assistance requested help from EmergenSea due to an unusual event. Namely, their member's car ended up on the seabed near the island of Ugljan. A series of quick and clumsy events preceded the car's sinking. Interestingly, the car floated for a few minutes and drifted about 30 meters from the shore before sinking to a depth of 8 meters. The only way to save the car was to tow it to shallow water using balloons, making it an easy job for the car crane.
Happy end for driver, but Mercedes...?
The luxury car ended up underwater at Muline beach on the island of Ugljan due to the driver's clumsy maneuver, but fortunately, no one was injured. The car, being hermetically sealed, remained floating, attracting some onlookers. Thanks to the brave and decisive reaction of people nearby, the driver was rescued and pulled to safety.
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, so we bring you photos from the scene to tell their own story.
