At a cruise terminal in Rostock-Warnemünde, a car with two people drove into the Warnow River on Tuesday. The vehicle sank within minutes. The two people were rescued lifeless from the water by divers from the Rostock professional fire brigade, the police in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania said.

The background was still unclear. In addition to the water police, a sea rescue cruiser was deployed. According to the police, shipping traffic has now been suspended. The car should be recovered later in the day.
