Tractor accident in Hirschegg: 27-year-old crashes seriously injured!

On Sunday, a serious tractor accident occurred in Hirschegg, Styria, when a 27-year-old fell with his tractor down a slope while working on his own property for unknown reasons. The tractor remained in a meadow while the driver lay on the ground with a broken thigh and other injuries. The alerted first responders from the Voitsberg-Köflach Red Cross were at the scene within a few minutes and immediately recognized the severity of the situation. Due to the low temperatures, keeping the injured person warm was given priority, while at the same time support from the fire brigade was organized, reported meinkreis.at.

The emergency doctor provided first aid and relieved the young man's pain before transferring him to the Graz Accident Hospital in a stable condition. This effective rescue operation was made possible by the close cooperation of the emergency services, fire brigade and police, as the reports show. In a broader context, the training of first responders was expanded in the region, who are active not only in Hirschegg-Pack, but also in the surrounding towns of Edelschrott, Modriach and Steinberg. These trained volunteers, who can intervene quickly in emergencies, significantly increase the safety of citizens by bridging crucial time until the arrival of regular emergency services, such as Roteskreuz.at reported.

The first responders, who were trained as part of a pilot project, play a crucial role in emergency care. In a total of 32 hours, the participants were prepared for practical and team-oriented operations in order to be able to react quickly and effectively in critical situations. The aim of this training is to optimize regional emergency care and shorten response times in emergencies. Such programs are critical to rural areas and highlight the essential role of these first responders in the community.
