A farmer overturned his tractor while working on hay in Zederhaus (Rothenwand) on Saturday evening. The 56-year-old was seriously injured. The fire department helped with the rescue. 

The farmer suffered serious injuries but was able to get out of the overturned tractor on his own. He received first aid from the Red Cross and was flown to hospital.

The recovery of the tractor was complex: It had to be secured using a grapple hoist. The Zederhaus fire department also set up fire protection. With the help of two other tractors and cable winches, the wreck could then be set up and transported away. The Zederhaus fire department was deployed with 21 men.
