The woman was unable to withstand the masses of water and was repeatedly pushed under the surface. An attentive passer-by finally noticed her and rushed to her aid. The 60-year-old managed to pull the woman to shore.
Those involved were very lucky
Paramedics and a first responder treated the severely hypothermic woman and took her to the district hospital in Kufstein. The Austrian woman was able to leave the hospital on Thursday. She, her rescuer and her dog were uninjured.
