Man's thumb severed
Workers’ hands seriously injured in accidents
Two gruesome work accidents occurred on Thursday in the Tyrolean lowlands. Two workers (22 and 31) suffered serious injuries to their hands. The 22-year-old British man even had his thumb severed.
The man was working with a hand-held circular saw in a workshop in Oberau in Wildschönau at around 2.20 pm. For reasons as yet unknown, his hand came into contact with the saw blade and severed his thumb.
A colleague of the British man raised the alarm. The rescue helicopter flew the injured man to the hospital in Innsbruck.
Rope broke and hit the worker on the hand
A 31-year-old Serbian man had also landed there a few hours earlier. At a construction site in Jenbach at around 9.30 am, he was working with a 34-year-old colleague to pull a cable underground with the help of a cable winch. According to the police, the cable broke for an as yet unexplained reason and hit the worker on the right hand.
The man suffered serious injuries. After initial treatment by the emergency doctor, he was taken to hospital.
