Hunter as lifesaver
Toddler fell into water channel while playing
Dramatic scenes unfolded on Friday evening in Peuerbach (Upper Austria): A two-year-old girl fell into the water while playing at a weir and was immediately pulled into an underground water channel. In addition to countless guardian angels, a hunter also reacted with presence of mind.
The family probably took advantage of the beautiful late summer day to go for a walk in the forest. In an unobserved moment, however, a small child playing fell into a water channel that runs underground and flows into a small power station.
Countless guardian angels
The father reacted with presence of mind, immediately jumped in after the child and was also swept away by the strong current. A hunter happened to be nearby and rushed to help the two. He opened a maintenance opening and freed the two from the water-filled canal.
The fire and rescue services immediately rushed to the scene of the accident. Miraculously, the child and his father are said to have remained virtually unharmed in the accident.
