Seriously injured
Styrian trapped under machine in timber company
During maintenance work on a machine at a timber company in Preding, a man from Deutschlandsberg was trapped under a component early on Tuesday morning. The 49-year-old suffered extremely serious leg injuries.
The accident victim was carrying out maintenance work on a machine at the company together with a colleague. At around 06:30, the man was working alone on the machine. He is also likely to have loosened a drive chain on his own. However, a mechanical component then also came loose and trapped the 49-year-old in the area of his legs.
Multiple injuries
Work colleagues immediately came to the 49-year-old's aid and tried to free him. After this was initially unsuccessful, the previously dismantled component of the machine first had to be reattached. The 49-year-old suffered serious multiple injuries to his legs in the accident.
After receiving first aid from the Red Cross, he was flown to Graz University Hospital by the C12 rescue helicopter.
