The driver who was caught in the car suffered serious injuries. The alarmed fire brigades Neuzeug-Sierninghofen, Pichlern and Sierning arrived shortly after the accident to secure the situation, such as laumat.at reported.

With the help of hydraulic rescue equipment, the firefighters finally managed to free the seriously injured man from the vehicle. An emergency doctor was quickly on hand and ensured the driver's first aid before he was flown to a hospital in Linz by means of a rescue helicopter Christophorus 2.
