Sassnitz (dpa / mv) – A van parked on a sloping road in Sassnitz on Rügen rolled off on Thursday afternoon and left a trail of destruction. According to the police, the car rolled about 30 meters down the street, ran over a street lamp, grazed a construction trailer and finally came to a stop on a junction box.
