Rope torn from elevator: Man falls into the depths
On Wednesday afternoon, a man (56) was probably loading several barrels into a freight elevator in Gumpoldskirchen (Lower Austria) when the elevator's steel cable broke. The man and the elevator car fell two floors and became trapped under the elevator.
At around 1 p.m., dramatic scenes occurred in a catering business in Gumpoldskirchen in the district of Mödling. While loading several barrels into a freight elevator, the steel cable of the freight elevator probably broke. As a result, the elevator car plummeted two floors - a 56-year-old man who was transporting the barrels into the elevator was also swept away. He was trapped in a cellar under the freight elevator.
Seriously injured and flown to hospital
The Gumpoldskirchen and Guntramsdorf fire departments were alerted and were able to free the man quickly and hand him over to the attending emergency doctor. He suffered serious injuries and was flown to St. Pölten University Hospital by the rescue helicopter "Christophorus 9".
