A Tesla driver who crashed into a freezing Norwegian fjord was rescued by two people in a passing floating sauna.
Footage of the incident showed emergency workers hauling the vehicle out of the water in Oslo shortly after the motorist and his passenger were saved by the sauna users, wearing only towels around their waists.
The car appeared to have been driven off the quay at the Akershusstranda, an area where ships dock at the foot of the Norwegian capital’s picturesque medieval fortress and castle.
A witness told Norway’s VG newspaper that he saw the car stopped, before it suddenly accelerated and ended up in the water.
The paper reported that the driver had thought the vehicle was in park when he hit the accelerator pedal.
As the car went down, the two “screaming” occupants escaped and made it onto the Tesla’s roof as the floating sauna headed towards them.
