Drama on Vltava River

A dramatic scene unfolded on the Vltava River near Prague’s Štvanice Island on Thursday evening, when a young child managed to set a parked van in motion and drove it into the river. The child's mother jumped into the water after her offspring. A random passer-by who saw the incident jumped in after the woman. All three emerged from the river uninjured. The child, a school-age boy, reportedly got into the van to change his clothes when the incident happened. Firefighters later pulled the van out of the water.
