Von WOM

A serious work accident occurred on Monday in the Melk district when two roofers in the blind market plunged into a deep fall height during their work. The two men were busy with a sick village on the church roof when a tragic misfortune happened.

According to the first reports, the arm of the crane seems to have been canceled. This fell through the church roof and brought the two workers with it, who plunged about 16 meters into the depths. Despite the barriers that are normally intended for such operations, the two men were not sufficiently secured at this moment to avoid such a risk.
