Happiness in misfortune: car accident on the LH88 in St. Georgen/Klaus

In the evening hours of the Allersonelentag, an accident occurred on the state road 88 near Wieserhöhe, in which two cars were involved. The St. Georgen/Klaus volunteer fire brigade was alerted to help with the vehicle recovery. It seems that happiness has been the hold, because despite the accident most of the occupants remained largely intact.

The incident started when a driver turned from a court access to the LH 88 and collided with another vehicle, which moved down the valley towards Böhlerwerk. After the impact, one of the cars landed in the ditch. The fire brigade quickly arrived to master the situation and to secure the scene of the accident.

The volunteer fire brigade reported great luck in misfortune. If the collision had only taken place a second earlier or later, the collision would have been much more serious, the hydraulic rescue device might have had to be needed for the occupants. Fortunately, the inmates of the two vehicles were able to free themselves. However, one of the vehicle occupants was treated with injuries indefinitely and taken to the hospital.

The fire brigade's forces used rope winches and maneuvering to rescue and secure the damaged vehicles. In addition, the leaked liquids were bound and the road was cleaned so that the LH 88 could be released for traffic again.

The efficiency and the team spirit of the firefighters were crucial for the quick and effective coping with the situation, which, according to various reports, was also described as unexpectedly but coping. The article by www.meinbezirk.at offers further details about this incident.
