Carnival tragedy shakes small town: mother of four children falls into river and dies. A woman died in an accident on her way home from a party.
Police searched for the 43-year-old in Sonneberg (Thuringia) with a large contingent. Because of a brick wall and the speed of the flow, it is difficult to get out of the river, said a spokesman for the state police operations center. The B89 federal highway was temporarily closed between Sonnenberg and the Meilschnitz junction.
