Two injured
Tunnel accident claimed emergency services during rescue operation
In addition to the numerous flood alarms, the fire departments also have to deal with "everyday" operations. Like on a rainy Sunday on the Pyhrn highway, where a car carrying two people crashed in a tunnel. The recovery of the driver was challenging - his passenger was able to get out herself.
A 65-year-old French citizen from Germany was traveling together with a 57-year-old woman in his car on the Pyhrnautobahn towards Wels on Sunday. In St. Pankraz, he lost control of the car in the Lainberg tunnel, which veered to the left and crashed into a niche in the tunnel. The vehicle then came to a standstill across both lanes.
Driver trapped
While the female passenger was able to free herself from the vehicle, the 65-year-old had to be freed by the fire department using hydraulic rescue equipment. Both were injured to an indeterminate degree and were taken to the Pyhrn-Eisenwurzen hospital in Kirchdorf after first aid by the emergency doctor. The A9 was closed for more than an hour.
