Tractor slipped off
Thrown out of the driver’s cab during mowing work
A 64-year-old man was working on hay in steep and rough terrain in Silbertal on Tuesday afternoon. Suddenly, his mowing tractor, a Rasant mountain tractor, started to slide and overturned several times.
The tragic accident occurred at around 4.50 p.m. in the Silbertal valley, near Faraboda. The work machine skidded and overturned several times in the crash. The driver was thrown out of the open driver's cab after about 40 meters.
The 64-year-old remained seriously injured in the meadow. The "Rasant-Bergtrak" plunged another 30 meters and ultimately landed in a wooded area under the meadow.
Mower not recovered
The seriously injured man had to be rescued from the rough terrain using a rope. After first aid, he was flown to hospital. The totally damaged mower could not be recovered for the time being.
Three vehicles from the Silbertal fire department with 20 people, four vehicles from the Schruns fire department with 35 people, four rescue vehicles with six people, a mountain rescue vehicle with eight people, the C8 rescue helicopter with its crew and a patrol from the Schruns police were involved in the operation.
