Two German tourists in Spluegen, Grisons, Switzerland were sleeping in their van when flash floodwaters suddenly swamped them. By coincidence, a crane was nearby. Rescue workers used it to pull the two men to safety. Metro reports:
Police spokesman Roman Ruegg said: ‘The water mass nibbled away the parking spot until the entire edge crumbled away.’ At around 6am, the Volkswagen was dragged away by the water, waking up the passengers. [...]
Ruegg said: ‘The men were in shock. They survived the incident unharmed, but suffered from symptoms of hypothermia.’
