At a height of three meters
Man crushed between tree and garden fence
A serious mistake almost ended in tragedy in the district of Mödling (Lower Austria): during pruning work, the heavy trunk suddenly buckled and buried the garden owner underneath it. The fire department had to rush to the rescue with heavy equipment.
Late in the morning, a garden owner in Perchtoldsdorf wanted to prune a tree. To do so, the man climbed a ladder and worked on the trunk at a height of three meters - until it suddenly gave way! The hobby gardener was seriously injured and trapped between the tree and the garden fence.
When the fire department arrived on the scene, the firefighters were astonished. "At first, we thought the injured man was lying on the ground," explains a Floriani. Using scaling ladders, the volunteers made their way to the patient and began to remove the dense branches of the tree.
The injured man was treated by the rescue team
After just a few cuts with the chainsaw, the trunk was already light enough to be moved by hand. With combined forces, the firefighters heaved the tree aside and were able to hand the injured man over to the rescue service. After around 20 minutes, the operation was over for the firefighters.
