Drama on the A3: woman freed from car after an accident!

On December 2, 2024, a serious traffic accident occurred on Autobahn 3 at Königswinter, in which a woman was injured. The incident was reported by the on -board emergency call system of a vehicle, which may save life. The system automatically sent an emergency call after the airbags were triggered during the accident. The fire brigade was alerted at 10:44 p.m. and had to free the trapped woman from her overturned car with a hydraulic rescue device. This quick reaction was decisive because other road users had not noticed the crashed car, as [fireworld.at] reported.

The saving measures required precise coordination of the emergency services. The Königswinter fire brigade, together with the Löschgruppen Niederpleis, Ittenbach, Oelberg and Uthweiler, was quickly on site. After the vehicle was stabilized, the roof could be opened to free the woman after around 30 minutes. It was transported to the hospital with moderate injuries, while the motorway police started investigations into the course of the accident. In order not to hinder the emergency services, the traffic was led by one lane past the scene of the accident. [ff-kersbach.de] emphasizes the importance of the correct arrangement of the emergency vehicles in order to ensure unhindered access to the site.

The rapid access of rescue workers is essential to ensure efficient help in an emergency. It is crucial that the installation areas for fire and emergency services are kept free in good time so that all rescue measures can be carried out without delays. In such inserts, the vehicles must be positioned in such a way that they can still ensure clear access and at the same time use their warning signals effectively.
