A blessing in disguise: the driver was saved in an accident in Waidhofen/Ybbs!

A dramatic accident occurred in Waidhofen/Ybbs tonight when a vehicle fell down the embankment towards Ybbs. The driver involved in the accident was lucky and was able to make an emergency call, although it was difficult to locate his exact position. According to reports from meinkreis.at, the car ended up far away from the main road, and if the driver had fallen a few meters further, he could have ended up in the river, which would have made rescue more difficult.

Police, emergency services and the fire department worked hard to rescue the vehicle. Operations manager Günther Weiss from the Waidhofen-Wirts fire department called the incident a “small Christmas miracle” because the driver only suffered minor injuries. After first aid, he was taken to the hospital. The rescue from the difficult-to-access area posed a major logistical problem, after all, despite the difficulties, the emergency services were light-hearted thanks to the fortunate circumstances, as NÖN also reported.

The incident, which took place at midnight, shows how important it is to act quickly and precisely in crisis situations. The rescue workers had to navigate a radius of two kilometers to find the driver and free him in time. Thanks to their combined efforts, something worse was prevented, and the driver showed true symbols of happiness in the midst of the misfortune.
