Fatal accident
Tyrolean (41) died after accident while felling a tree
Terrible accident at work on Tuesday morning in Tyrol! A 41-year-old man was trapped under a tree trunk while working with wood. A 59-year-old man tried to rescue the Tyrolean, but help came too late.
The two locals were working in the Achenwald forest in the municipality of Achenkirch from 7 a.m. on Tuesday - separated but within sight of each other - doing forestry work. At around 11.30 am, the 59-year-old noticed that his work colleague, who had been busy cutting a wedge out of a tree trunk shortly before, was lying trapped under a tree trunk on his back.
Resuscitation attempts in vain
"The 59-year-old managed to free the trapped casualty, set the rescue chain in motion and immediately administered first aid," the police said. Resuscitation measures were then continued by the rescue team from the rescue helicopter. However, the 41-year-old died at the scene of the accident.
