Seriously injured
Worker (51) hit by tree during forestry work
The forestry worker (51), who was seriously injured after the accident, had to be rescued by the rescue helicopter with a rope after receiving initial treatment from the emergency doctor and taken to Innsbruck Hospital. He was hit by a tree.
A 51-year-old man was seriously injured on Wednesday morning during forestry work in the so-called "Durricher Wald" forest in the municipality of Kappl in the Tyrolean district of Landeck. The man and three colleagues had pulled two attached trees out of the forest onto the forest road above. While pulling them up, the upper part of a tree suddenly broke off and hit the 51-year-old, who was walking uphill next to the trees before pulling the rope downhill again.
Hurled through the air
The worker was thrown several meters downhill and remained lying against a tree with serious injuries, the police said. The Austrian was first treated by the emergency doctor from a rescue helicopter and then rescued with a rope. He was then flown to the hospital in Innsbruck.
