Tragic loss in Vienna: subway surfers saves six lives through organ donation

A tragic incident shaked Vienna: 17-year-old Vlado K. from Prague and his 18-year-old friend died in a risky subway surfing. The two young people drove on the roof of a subway at a speed of about 50 km/h when they suddenly collided with a nearby bridge. Despite the immediate medical efforts, both serious head injuries suffered and could not be saved. This reports Kosmo .

The incident occurred at the end of October and is related to the desperate wish of the young people to obtain recognition of peers through such dangerous actions. Vlado K. was a committed young man who worked in two part -time jobs after school to support his single mother. This came to the Czech Republic with the family from Ukraine ten years ago to look for a better life.

After the tragic loss of Vlado, his family decided to donate his organs. This decision now helps to save the lives of at least six children who have urgently rely on transplants. A doctor explained that the possibility of organ donation for the bereaved often offers consolation and helps them to process the painful loss.

Martina P., Vlado's mother, describes the fatal incident as a painful mix of stupidity and the urge to prove itself in the peer group. She remains indefinitely over the loss of her son and is now facing the challenge of raising her two younger sons at the age of 8 and 11 without the support of her eldest son. According to Martina P., the dangers of such risky actions are enormous and the consequences are devastating. This is also supported by Bild , which indicates the risks of the subway surfing.
