After more than a dozen years on sale, Lancia is finally getting ready to replace its compact Ypsilon hatchback with a brand new generation based on the Opel Corsa. The new hatch was previewed earlier this year by the rad Pu+Ra concept, and now the production Ypsilon has leaked in more ways than one after a prototype was crashed into a river in France.

Details about the incident are few. As reported by L’Est Républicain, early this morning in Montbéliard, France, firefighters were called to the scene when a submerged vehicle was spotted in a canal along Rue du Port near Stellantis’ factory. The firefighters carried out a search for potential victims and other wreckage; when nothing else was found, the car was hoisted out of the river by a crane. While the little white hatchback was presumed to be stolen, the police allegedly wouldn’t comment on what happened.
