An intoxicated Swiss man got a shock when he mistook a river for an underground car park.

Peter Thaler was arrested by police when he went to collect his car from what he believed was a car park.

In fact, it was the Ruess river near Luzern - he had drunkenly driven down a ramp leading to the water the night before.

A source said: "He was confused because of the fog - but mostly because of the drink. He lost his licence and will be fined and will have to pay all the costs of the recovery of his car."

Mr Thaler drank so much alcohol that he was still over the limit the next morning and failed a breathalyser test.
