Men’s Day in MV: Three fatalities and several injuries reported. | Teknomers

In Wolgast, two men drowned on Thursday night. Around 11:40 PM, the water police were informed that an angler had fallen into the harbor basin. Witnesses reported that the 27-year-old man could not free himself from the water and eventually submerged. A 40-year-old man from a group of bystanders made the brave decision to jump into the water to rescue the angler but also did not resurface. Rescue swimmers, boats, and divers from the THW were deployed, along with two search drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras. After two and a half hours, the two men were retrieved from the water, but unfortunately, they were already lifeless. An emergency doctor confirmed their deaths. Witnesses to the incident received support from a crisis intervention team, and the criminal investigation department in Anklam has since taken over the investigation into the cause of the accident.

Three Boats Capsize Near Greifswald

On Thursday, two paddling boats and one motorboat capsized at the harbor entrance near Greifswald. Five people, who were canoeing, attempted to return to their home dock after a paddling tour in the Dänische Wieck and were being towed by a motorboat. During this process, water entered all three boats, causing them to capsize. All six individuals went overboard and floated in the water. They were rescued about 30 minutes later by the crew of the traditional sailing vessel “Hanne Marie” and brought ashore, where rescue personnel attended to them. Two individuals were transported to the hospital for further treatment. The 39-year-old motorboat driver showed signs of extreme intoxication, with a blood alcohol level of 1.7 permille; legally, a maximum of 0.5 permille is permitted on the water. The Wolgast water police have filed a criminal complaint against him.
