Whoops, wrong turn! Car sinks under water

(ADW) A motorist on Monday morning found himself and his car completely under water in Schengen.

However the driver was not caught up in a rain storm or bad road conditions, but the French registered car and resident from Sierck-les-Bains, just over the border, was to blame for his own mishap!

According to the police report the man had “overlooked” a roadblock in Schengen, set up due to serious flooding further down the road, and had simply driven straight into the high waters until only the roof of the car could be seen poking out of the water.

The police were quick to point out that in order for the car and motorist to meet their rather watery journey's-end, they would have needed to mount the pavement to avoid the roadblock.

Let this be a lesson to us all!
