Finally, the senior citizen's control failed, and the car came off the street, rolled down a slope and landed on the roof in the hip -deep water of the stream, such as Fireworld.at reported.
Fortunately, both the senior and the passengers of the bus, who were immediately in help, remained unharmed. A brave helper was able to pull the driver out of the car, and a doctor who was also on the bus initiated initial examinations. Although the 83-year-old suffered slight hypothermia, she was brought to the hospital with an ambulance. However, her car fell victim to total damage.
