Serious accident in Panzendorf: Eight-year-old boy hit by car!
On Monday, June 16, 2025, there was a serious accident at an intersection in Panzendorf, East Tyrol, in which an eight-year-old boy on a scooter was hit by a car. The 33-year-old driver was no longer able to brake in time, so the child fell in front of the front bumper and remained on the ground. After the incident, both the child's father and the driver started the rescue chain.
Police reported the severity of the injuries, saying the child suffered serious injuries in the area of his left foot. An emergency doctor provided initial care before the child was transported to the Lienz District Hospital for further treatment. This first aid is crucial for the outcome of such accidents, as measures must be taken quickly and concisely.
Rescue chain and first aid
In the event of an accident, it is very important to remain calm and monitor the situation. According to SafetyShop24, it is important to secure the scene of the accident, for example with barrier tape, and to notify the emergency services. Checking the patient's consciousness and checking breathing are other important first steps in an emergency. In particular, the use of pressure bandages on heavily bleeding wounds can be life-saving.
Furthermore, a high-visibility vest should be worn, especially in traffic, and disposable gloves should be used when treating wounds. These safety measures not only contribute to your own safety, but also to the optimal care of the injured person.
Importance of first aid
The importance of first aid cannot be overemphasized. Experts recommend refreshing your knowledge in a refresher course every five years, as appropriate intervention in an emergency is essential. According to data from Fernaarzt, around eight people die every day in Germany due to traffic accidents. The number of injuries is significantly higher, as shown by the expected 383,000 injuries for 2019. Consequently, first aid measures are crucial to increase the chances of rescue.
A first aid certificate is valid indefinitely, while certain training courses, such as that of a company assistant, must be renewed every two years. These regular refreshers help ensure that both laypeople and professionals are prepared for emergencies and can act efficiently in the event of an emergency.
The tragic incident in East Tyrol is a stark reminder of the importance of first aid knowledge and the need to actively use it. In road traffic, but also in everyday life, quick and appropriate reactions can be crucial.
