Woman, 76, and her two dogs drown as car rolls into a river from ferry slipway

An elderly woman and her two dogs drowned yesterday when her car rolled into a fast flowing river. The red saloon had stopped on a slipway as the 76-year-old and her husband waited to catch a ferry. But when the husband got out to take photographs of the picturesque stretch of water, the car began rolling forward. It is not known why the car started moving, although it possible that the handbrake had not been applied. Police are preparing to check the vehicle for any mechanical faults.
