Toast, falls asleep in the car and wakes up at sea: the rescue in extremis by the window

A German tourist was in danger of being trapped inside his car after it started moving on its own while he was sleeping, eventually ending up in the sea near Torre Canne, near Brindisi. The vehicle, a Skoda Station Wagon, had been parked by the roadside and began moving autonomously, traveling from the road into the water. The man managed to open a window and escape just before the car was fully submerged. Firefighters and coast guard divers responded quickly, rescuing the driver and later recovering the vehicle. Authorities are investigating possible causes, including issues with the braking system.
