Trapped in the tunnel
Driver got stuck in a flooded underpass
Strange incident on Wednesday evening in Kirchbichl (Kufstein district) in Tyrol! A car driver seems to have ignored the standing water in a railroad underpass and ended up getting stuck in the middle. He waited on the roof of his car before the fire department was able to rescue him. It was not the first incident of this kind.
Once again, a driver tried to drive through the flooded railroad underpass on Langkampfner Straße in Kirchbichl. Once again, the fire department had to be called out to rescue the vehicle from the masses of water.
Difficult operation
The most recent case occurred on Wednesday evening. A young car driver's attempt to pass through the underpass backfired. At around 8.25 pm, the Kirchbichl fire department was called out to rescue the driver and the car from their predicament.
Fortunately, the driver was uninjured. He waited patiently on the roof of the car until the emergency services were able to rescue him.
Second incident within days
Curiously, it was not the first operation of this kind for the fire department. On Monday night shortly after 11 p.m., the firefighters were called out to rescue a car and its driver from the flooded underpass. Here too, the driver had underestimated the height of the water due to the local rain showers.
