Search Continues for Missing Man After Vehicle Plunges into Vorarlberg Reservoir

The search efforts are ongoing for a 72-year-old man whose vehicle plunged into a reservoir in Vorarlberg. Authorities reported that the man, an avid hunter, was attempting to travel to his hunting lodge when the incident occurred.

On Thursday evening, around 8:00 PM, the man was driving along a road that runs directly over the dam of the reservoir, situated at an elevation of 1,809 meters. As he reached the end of the dam, he lost control of his vehicle under circumstances that remain unclear.

The car veered off the road and fell down a steep embankment into the reservoir, where it subsequently sank. Despite extensive search efforts, both the vehicle and the individual have yet to be located.

Rescue teams have been deployed to the area, utilizing divers and sonar equipment in hopes of finding any trace of the missing man or his car. The challenging terrain and depth of the water have complicated the search efforts, prompting authorities to call for additional resources.

This incident has raised concerns regarding the safety of the roadway, which is frequented by both locals and visitors. Authorities are urging caution and are reviewing safety measures in place along the route.

The community is rallying to support the family of the missing man during this difficult time, as hopes remain high for a positive outcome in the search.
