Seriously injured
Pastor fell four meters down a shaft
Oh God, the poor priest! In Thalheim bei Wels (Wels-Land district), the fire department, ambulance service, emergency doctor and police were on duty from 8.53 a.m. on Monday after the pastor fell into a four-metre shaft of the wooden bunker at the local parish center.
The fire department was called to a "deep person rescue" at the local parish center in Thalheim bei Wels on Monday morning. Pastor Wolfgang Pichler (67) had descended into the 3.5 meter deep wood chip bunker at around 7 a.m. to shovel wood chips to the screw conveyor. He fell backwards from the ladder through no fault of his own and fell onto the concrete floor. At around 8.50 a.m., two employees of a building yard became aware of his cries for help and set the rescue chain in motion. The fire department was able to rescue the injured man by crane at around 10 a.m. after receiving emergency medical treatment.
Marked by the pain
"We used a crane and a basket stretcher to get the priest out of the bunker with the help of the rescue team. He was responsive, but in pain due to the accident," reports Manuel Feichtinger, head of the fire brigade.
The parish center in Thalheim is very concerned. According to the diocese, Pichler suffered several broken bones.
