Operation on the "Süd"
Accident drama: woman and children trapped in car wreck
Dramatic scenes Saturday afternoon on the Südautobahn highway near Wernberg in Carinthia: An electric car had overturned on the descent - the driver, his wife and three children had to be rescued from the wreck. The helicopter was deployed.
It is still completely unclear how this tragic accident occurred shortly after eleven o'clock just off the Wernberg exit, but one thing is certain: the electric car hit the embankment, overturned and came to rest on its side. The occupants, a driver (55) from Vienna, his wife (43) and three children aged 8, 11 and 13, were trapped in the completely demolished wreckage.
Some of them seriously injured
The accident victims were eventually freed from the car by first responders and taken to hospital by the ARA rescue helicopter team or by ambulance, some of them with serious injuries.
The Wernberg, Velden and Pörtschach fire departments, as well as the highway police, the Red Cross and Asfinag were deployed.
