Shocking accident in Ober-Grafendorf: cars collide head-on!

There was a serious traffic accident in Wolfenberg on Monday evening when two cars collided head-on. One vehicle crashed into the passenger side of the other with such force that both cars were thrown off the road and came to rest in an adjacent field. The two drivers were injured and one person had to be freed from the wreckage by the fire department. The rescue service took the two injured people to the hospital, while several emergency vehicles from the Ober-Grafendorf fire department were on site NOEN reported.

Challenge of personal liberation

When freeing those trapped, special techniques were necessary to ensure the safety of the injured and the stability of the vehicles. In such situations, as well as in any other use of the Munich professional fire department, it may be necessary to cut off the roof of the vehicle in order to gently free the injured person. Care is often taken to support the vehicle, as the position of the vehicle on its side causes instability.

When dealing with such accidents, close coordination between emergency responders is necessary to stabilize patients during the procedure and minimize potential risks. The deployment of the Ober-Grafendorf fire department once again shows the challenges and technical requirements that can arise in traffic accidents, especially when people are trapped in their vehicles.
