Car falls after handbrake breakdown in Bach: fire brigade in action!

In a dramatic incident in Ludmannsdorf, Carinthia, a car rolled from its parking lot unnoticed on Saturday evening. The driver had forgotten to put on the handbrake, which led to the vehicle racing over a steep meadow, broke through a bridge railing and fell into a stream. Fortunately, nobody was injured, but considerable damage to the car was caused by the Ludmannsdorf and Ferlach fire brigade, as meinbezirk.at reported.

The fire brigade faced the challenge of bringing the crashed vehicle back onto the street under difficult conditions. The incident shows how important it is to properly activate the handbrake after parking a car in order to avoid such unfortunate situations. While in the current case was lucky on the handlebars' side, a similar incident ended tragically last summer when a truck on the Karawanken motorway caused a serious accident due to an unsettled parking brake, reports OE24.at .
