Hesse: Unoccupied car rolls off the ramp into the Rhine

Lampertheim (dpa / lhe) - An unoccupied car rolled off a ramp into the Rhine in Lampertheim in southern Hesse (Bergstraße district). A woman had parked the vehicle there on Friday without securing it against rolling away, the police said on Saturday. The car then rolled down the sloping ramp and finally sank in the river. All attempts to stop it were in vain, officials reported. At around 10.30 p.m. it was located about two meters from the bank and outside the fairway. It should be recovered in the coming days.
