In Brief

In the Kovacine campsite on the island of Cres, a pine tree fell on a camper, blocking the exit. Three firefighters with chainsaws freed the people. No injuries, minor damage.

Firefighters in the Croatian town of Cres responded to two calls in quick succession overnight. First, they checked a fire alarm activation in a building, which turned out to be false. Then, around midnight, a call came from the Kovacine campsite: a pine tree had fallen on a camper, blocking the exit for those inside.

Three firefighters from the Cres volunteer fire department used chainsaws to remove the tree and clear the passage. No one was injured, and material damage was minor.

Belgian family stranded in Argentina due to motorhome software error

A Belgian family with four children has been stranded in Argentina for weeks during their South American trip.

The manufacturer states the code can only be cleared at a specific Volkswagen factory located 867 kilometers away.

The plush cars and campervans sunk on Gwynedd graveyard beach in 2025

Vehicle strandings at Traeth y Graig Ddu beach in Gwynedd increased significantly in 2025, with an estimated 30 cars and motorhomes recovered. A local farmer using a tractor performed most rescues as drivers, often from cities, misjudged the rapid tides and parked too low on the sand. Approximately one-third of the vehicles were submerged by seawater, leading to likely insurance write-offs.
