The owner of this Mercedes had a little bit of Christmas luck when, instead of “drowning” in the Adriatic, it was left balancing perched on rocks.

The parked Mercedes was hit by another car and almost pushed into the sea on the coast of Lapad this morning. The police commented that the reasons for the accident are still undetermined, and that more will be known after the inspection.

The emergency services swung into action and after a long “battle” the car was fished out of its perilous position.
