Serious traffic accident in Faistau: five injured and great rescue operation

In the night of Thursday, a serious traffic accident occurred in Faistau, a municipality in Flachgau, in which five people were seriously injured. The accident happened as two vehicles came together head -on for unexplained reasons. The exact circumstances are currently still unclear in terms of the investigations by the police.

The fire brigade was on site with the Red Cross in the large contingent on site. According to Alexander Ebner, the head of operations of the Red Cross, the type of injury was to be classified as polytrauma, which means that the injured serious serious injuries on the chest and hip had suffered.

A helicopter from St. Johann im Pongau was also requested to transport the injuries to the accident hospital and the state hospital.

extensive assistance on site

A total of impressive 45 firefighters from the fire brigades Faistau and Hof were involved in the mission. Helmut Schöpp, the head of operations, emphasized that fortunately there was no person who was trapped in the vehicle. The fire brigade helped the Red Cross by illuminating the scene of the accident and carrying out the clean -up work. One of the vehicles involved was an electric vehicle, which made additional precautionary measures necessary, but the emergency services were trained on such situations.

The Hinterseer Landesstraße, which runs between the Baderluck and Faistenau district, was closed for several hours due to the clean -up work. This blocking was necessary to ensure the safety of the emergency services and to enable the rescue measures smoothly.

The severity of the accident and the associated measures illustrate the importance of a quick and effective emergency reaction in the region. Current information about the injured persons and further investigations are still in clarification and are expected in the coming days.
