Two seriously injured
Four-meter pillar toppled over and swept workers away
Dramatic scenes unfolded on a construction site in the Tyrolean Zillertal on Tuesday. Two workers were seriously injured when they tried to fill a four-meter-high pillar with concrete.
The two Portuguese men (42 and 58) were busy pouring concrete on a construction site in Aschau in Zillertal. They were standing at a height of around four meters to pour concrete into a column that was still hollow.
Impact on the concrete floor
This is when the accident happened: the hollow body began to sway and toppled over. It took the formwork element and the ladders with the two workers on them with it. The men hit the concrete floor and suffered serious injuries. After first aid, they were flown to Schwaz hospital.
