A driver almost crashed into the River Lieser on the night of Easter Monday. A tree stopped him from continuing his journey. 

The driver was driving in the municipality of Krems near Eisentratten on Monday night. He suddenly left the road and steered his car towards the Lieser river. A stroke of luck: the car crashed into a tree. "The driver was very lucky, because the Lieser River with its strong current is located directly under the tree," said the emergency services.

The cause of the accident is being investigated.
