During forestry work
30-year-old man hit by tree in Liezen district
Yet another forestry accident has occurred in Styria: on Tuesday afternoon, a 30-year-old man was hit by a tree in Weißenbach an der Enns (Liezen district) during logging work on steep terrain. He had to be taken to hospital by rescue helicopter with serious injuries.
It was shortly after 5 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon when a 30-year-old man was working with his brother in a forest near Weißenbach an der Enns. He used a chainsaw to cut down a tree on steep terrain. This tree is likely to have caused another wedged tree to roll.
Helicopter took him to hospital
The tree fell directly onto the young man, who was seriously injured. 40 emergency crews and four vehicles from the Weißenbach an der Enns and St. Gallen fire departments arrived together with three mountain rescuers to rescue the injured man from the steep terrain. The Christophorus 15 rescue helicopter then took him to Amstetten Regional Hospital.
