This is surely an 'only in Germany in a VW' story....
A Bavarian woman searching for her missing 16 year old son is now under investigation for leaving the scene of an accident without authorization. During the search, she became disorientated and drove - wait for it - over a 200ft mountain edge. You can just see her red VW in the photo.
Not only was she miraculously virtually uninjured, but she turned the engine off, put the handbrake on, and walked home and went to bed. Meanwhile, emergency services had been alerted to the wrecked vehicle and a big air and ground search was underway. It was some time before they discovered the woman was actually safe back at her house.
It doesn't say if her missing boy, who often camps on the mountain, turned up but I'm presuming he must have.
