Lost control
First responders rescue accident victim from wreck
Numerous emergency services had to rush to the Tauern highway in Carinthia on Friday morning because a driver (19) had lost control of his vehicle for unknown reasons and crashed. Heroic first responders freed the injured driver from the wreck.
It is still unclear why the 19-year-old lost control of his vehicle shortly after 6 a.m. near Paternion. He left the road, crashed into a guard rail and the vehicle was thrown back onto the road by the force of the impact.
"The badly damaged car came to rest on its side between the lanes," said the Feistritz an der Drau volunteer fire department. Following drivers were able to free the injured man from the wreckage. After initial medical treatment, the driver was taken to hospital with injuries by the ambulance service.
The St. Peter/Spittal and Feistritz fire departments, the Red Cross, the police and a private towing company were deployed to remove the wreck from the highway. The Tauernautobahn had to be completely closed in the direction of Villach for around an hour.
