Held of everyday life: ÖAMTC breakdown helpers saves locked baby!
In a remarkable incident in Melk, Austria, a mother locked herself in the car with her daughter that was only 2.5 months old. How OE24 reports, the central locking of the vehicle activated while the mother strapped the baby, with the key remaining inside the car. With her cell phone in hand, the mother immediately contacted the ÖAMTC-NOTHILFE under emergency number 120.
Planner driver Josef Derfler was alerted and quickly made his way to the scene of the accident. Derfler praised the mother for her prudence in this difficult situation, which particularly stands out in the face of the circumstances. In just a few minutes he was able to open the vehicle with his special tool. During this rescue, the baby fell asleep peacefully, which significantly reduced the stress of the situation. After successfully opening the car, the mother thanked Derfler for the quick and professional support, which was able to continue her journey.
The importance of child locking in the car
This incident also throws a light on the importance of securing children in the car. According to information from ADAC Foundation, the correct backup in the vehicle is essential to avoid injuries in the event of accidents. Every year over 10,000 children under the age of 15 are injured during the ride in the car, often in their parents' vehicles or grandparents.
The statistics show that more than a third of all crashed children are inmates in a vehicle in road traffic. Suitable child seats and the right belt protection are therefore essential to reduce the loss of injury in the event of accidents. Since 1993 there has also been a legal strap on children who ride in cars to ensure their security.
The incident in Melk should serve as an important memory of how quickly a situation can change and how important it is to take preventive measures to secure our little ones. It is particularly important for young parents to familiarize themselves with the necessary safety precautions in order to avoid similar mishaps.
