The police's budget: 83-year-old saved after night outdoors!

A dramatic rescue scenario took place on Thursday, December 19, in Wels when the two motorway police officers Michael and David performed as a tireless lifeline for an 83-year-old man. The senior had parked his car at a petrol station and had to spend the entire night outdoors. At around 7.40 a.m., the Wels police received an emergency call about the abandoned vehicle with a wide -open driver's door. The officers immediately alerted their colleagues and viewed the petrol station's surveillance camera. It turned out that the man had left the car at 11:30 p.m. and disappeared in the dark, as the Krone reported .

A comprehensive search in the surrounding area led the police on the trail of the elder about two hours later. The two officials found him leaning against a fence in a tall meadow about 300 meters away. The 83-year-old stood in a critical state of health-completely soaked, hypothermic and hardly accessible. Immediately Michael and David, supported by colleagues from the traffic accident command, intervened and contributed to the older gentlemen to their vehicle. They provided first aid on site until the rescue arrived. The man was finally admitted to the Wels Clinic, where he could be treated accordingly, according to the information from My district .
