Shipping traffic in Grijpskerk, Groningen was brought to a standstill on Monday morning as divers search for a man that fell into the water. A helicopter was also deployed to help with the search. The man, a worker on tanker Altomira, ended up in the water during repairs done on a ship on Poelweg, near the Gaarkeueken bridge. According to Dagblad van het Noorden, the accident happened around 5:45 a.m. Both police and fire department are searching for the missing man, so far without success.
