Wiesbaden (dpa / lhe) - A capsized canoeist was rescued from the water by the police in Wiesbaden on Friday morning.
The exhausted and hypothermic 67-year-old had been brought to a clinic, said the riot police.
Due to a change in the weather, there were strong gusts and waves, so that the canoe capsized.
The crew of a training boat of the Hessian water police saw the accident in Schierstein harbor and saved the woman with the help of the recovery platform of her police boat.
