injuries and medical care

According to the Red Cross in Lower Austria, those affected were then transported to suitable hospitals. The Klosterneuburg volunteer fire brigade took care of human rescue, while other fire brigades from the surrounding communities such as Höflein, Kritzendorf and Stockerau took over the protection and regulation of traffic on the Danube.In addition, the water rescue tulln supported the rescue measures with eight emergency services and divers of the Vienna professional fire brigade. The coordination and the fast reaction of the rescue workers were crucial in this critical situation in order to bring as many people to safety as possible. When the emergency services arrived, a systematic procedure for rescue and the care of the injured was immediately sought.
cause of the accident still unclear
The causes of the collision of the two motor boats are currently still unclear and are examined by the responsible investigative authorities. Kurier.at reports that the protection of boat and shipping was also important in order to avoid further incidents.
In such situations, it is crucial that boat inmates know how to behave. The DLRG states that inmates should remain near the boat with a boat focus, as long as it does not drop and should try to wave help. A calm and coordinated reaction can save lives by staying together and supporting each other to minimize the risk of hypothermia or other injuries.| Details | |
