- In Ludwigsburg, a 90-year-old man collided with an 18 cm thick concrete wall while reversing a Porsche Carrera GTS in a parking garage.
- The impact broke the wall, leaving the car's rear suspended about five meters inside a utility shaft.
- Firefighters rescued the trapped driver using ladders, and he escaped without injuries.
- The car was carefully lowered and recovered under fire safety measures, with damages estimated at around €95,000.
The vehicle was stuck in a kind of ventilation shaft. We ensured fire protection because operating materials had leaked out, and we lowered the vehicle in a controlled manner. It landed on its roof below - we then carefully put it back on its wheels. You really don't see something like this every day.— Marco Buess, fire department operations manager, discussing the unusual rescue operation for the vehicle.
