Fthiotida: He fell into the sea by car and was rescued at the last minute – Watch video

A very strange accident happened on Saturday afternoon in Raches, where the driver of a jeep, which was suddenly sinking into the sea from one moment to the next, almost drowned.

According to the report of LamiaReport, the 73-year-old driver of a Jeep Cherokee in his attempt to make a reversal, suffered something abnormal or stuck his foot in the accelerator and the jeep “dived” with the berry into the sea.

The large vehicle slowly began to drift, with the driver unable to open the door to exit, as the water had reached the middle of the door.

Two of the customers sitting in the patisserie, a woman and a man, seeing the level rise and the man in danger of drowning, jumped into the sea to save him.

They got in the car and first pulled the driver and made him sit on the roof of the jeep, which was left out of the water. The driver was conscious, but was icy and shocked and could not move.

The volunteer rescuers started pulling him out with difficulty since he was also overweight. At that time, the police of AT Stylida arrived, who without a second thought also entered the sea and helped to get the driver to the beach.

The elderly driver reportedly had health problems with his heart and was at risk of hypothermia. There they covered him with clothes and blankets, while the men of the Coast Guard arrived to help until EKAB came and picked him up.

“We were shocked. A man was drowning before our eyes. “May the people who dived and took him out of the car and the children of the police who came and helped be well. If they were a little late, the man would have drowned …”, one of the locals who heard the bang told LamiaReport was thrown out watching the jeep drift from the sea.
