The fire brigade was quickly on site to evacuate the Passengers. They installed a rescue platform on the driver's window and secured the bus against another slipping. All 28 passengers could surely get outdoors via the platform. They were then brought to the nearby village house, where they were offered a spontaneous ceremony to alleviate the fright. During the rescue operation, Oberwiesenthaler Straße was completely closed for about two hours, and the fire department was in use with around 35 emergency services and 6 vehicles. The passengers were later brought to Oberwiesenthal by a travel company, while the bus was able to continue at around 8:30 p.m. due to low damage and with the help of winter service vehicles, as well href = "https://www.blick.de/erzgebirge/nach-reisbeunfall-im-erzgebirge-insassen-werden-zu-spontanity-ingen-artikel13624969"> Blick.de reported.
