A heavily intoxicated woman landed in an empty fish pond with her car in Meerane (Zwickau district). As the police announced on Thursday, the 43-year-old drove at high speed against a fence.

The driver fled the scene of the accident on foot on Wednesday.

According to the information, witnesses were able to tell the police the identity of the woman. The suspected cause of the accident could not initially be found by the police.
