Spectacular car accident: Mother and daughter end up in the Ybbs!

A dramatic car accident occurred on Sunday afternoon in the municipal area of ​​Göstling on the Ybbs when a vehicle fell into the Ybbs river bed after a jump over 30 meters long. The mother from the Amstetten district was together with her daughter on the way home from skiing on the busy federal road B31 when she lost control of her car for unexplained reasons. The vehicle shot over a 40 -meter -long meadow before it plunged into the ice -cold river over the steep bank edge and stayed on the passenger side, like The KURIER reported .

Thanks to attentive witnesses who observed the accident, the two inmates could be quickly brought to safety. Fortunately, the mother and her daughter managed to leave the vehicle independently. First aid was immediately provided by two firefighters and a nurse who were at the scene of the accident and helped the injured to climb the icy river embankment. However, both had to be taken to the hospital for further treatment, while the rescue of their car, which was about 50 meters from the B31, was carried out with a crane vehicle from the Amstetten fire brigade. The assignment was challenging because the car was in the river bed, which is why the emergency services immediately set up a local diversion, such as Kosmo reported .
