The 69-year-old man had driven about 70 meters into the reeds at Lake Neusiedl and got stuck there. Since he could not free himself from the car and did not have his mobile phone with him, he initially tried to draw attention to himself by honking.

It was only after six hours that he remembered his car was equipped with an emergency call system. Around 3:00 a.m., he notified the police and was located shortly thereafter using a drone, confirmed the Burgenland State Police Directorate and the fire department in a report by ORF Burgenland. For clarification, the uninjured man was taken to the hospital.
