“Until her arrival, the crashed van was held afloat by a rope from a fire tank winch. The bison caught the van with a rope from a strong winch, and the truck crane lifted the vehicle lightly with its shoulder. The winch from the bison then pulled the van out of the water along a slight slope, “Petr Kůdela, a spokesman for the Moravian-Silesian firefighters, described the event.

He added that firefighters used several kilograms of absorbent sorbent to remove dirt and leaked operating fluids into the water. “There was a risk of contamination of trout nurseries, where the water from the drive flowed,” he explained.
