Storm drama: Vital minutes lost by Draubrücken lock
A tragic event shaken the Völkermarkt region. On a rainy day, July 28th, the Draubrücke between the Völkermarkt and the southern bank of the river became impassable due to a severe storm from 3:37 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. These circumstances led to a serious incident: While the bridge was not passable, there was a serious accident in Kühnsdorf, in which the Red Cross was called to reanimation a 78-year-old man.
The situation was poured when the emergency doctor was forced to take a detour via Tainach. In the meantime, the rescue team reached the site via Edling. These valuable minutes were crucial and could possibly have decided on life and death. Despite the efforts of the police to reanimate the crashed man until the red cross helper arrived, the rescue was unfortunately unsuccessful. The man died at the scene of the accident.
