Car through the ice was likely an optical illusion

The rescue service was alerted at lunch about a car through the ice on a larger lake in Varberg. But everything was apparently an optical illusion, reports P4 Halland.

Witnesses alerted that they saw a car sink through the ice and a large rescue operation was launched. At 14.30, the operation was discontinued.

Now we have searched the entire area and there are no indications of this, says Thomas Andersson, duty officer at the rescue service Väst to P4.

We have had people at the position where the witnesses stood and saw a shift in the ice that, together with sunlight, may have caused an optical illusion.
