The search for the 55-year-old man who went missing after a water skiing accident on the Danube in Obernzell (Passau district) continues. As a spokesman announced on Monday, the forces of the water police are already on site. Despite extensive searches by the water police, DLRG, water rescue service, fire brigade and two helicopters, the water skier could not be found on Sunday. Shipping traffic has been suspended.
The 55-year-old has been missing since Sunday afternoon. There was an accident while water skiing. When the man wanted to climb onto the boat via the stern, he reportedly got caught in the drive screw, which was still turning. He lost his leg and then got under water.
