Search continues for missing man who plunged into Hartbeespoort Dam
A man has been missing since Saturday after his vehicle was found partially submerged in the Hartbeespoort Dam.
The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI), rescue swimmers, and the police’s diving unit responded to the scene, where a suspected accident saw the car plunge into the dam at the Randburg Bridge.
After investigating the car, no occupants were found.
It is thought the man may have been ejected from the vehicle, and has been declared missing.
His car was found in dense hyacinth overgrowth in the dam, and has since been recovered by a towing company.
The NSRI’s Andrew Crewe told Kormorant the 36-year-old missing man’s wife was on the phone with him around 8pm on Saturday evening, but then lost contact.
The car was later spotted in the dam by a truck driver, who then called police and security services.
Police have opened an investigation, and divers, assisted by the area’s NSRI crew, are still searching for the missing man.
