Rescued by passers-by
Passers-by rescue accident victim (70) with jack
A 70-year-old pedestrian was involved in a dramatic traffic accident in Vienna-Ottakring on Tuesday evening: the pedestrian is said to have fallen while crossing the road, whereupon a collision with a car could no longer be prevented. Passers-by used a jack to free the woman.
A fall can result in dramatic injuries for elderly people, and it is even worse if a car is involved in the accident.
Collision with car after fall
On Tuesday evening, a 70-year-old pedestrian was reportedly walking on the street in Vienna-Ottakring when she unfortunately fell directly on the road. At the same time, a car driver aged 79 turned into the road and hit the pedestrian, who was lying on the road at the time. Apparently the driver did not see the woman - the collision could no longer be prevented.
First aid by passers-by
Passers-by apparently observed the incident and were able to free the accident victim from the 79-year-old driver's car using a jack - the fallen woman suffered life-threatening injuries. The helpful passers-by immediately provided first aid and alerted the emergency services.
The 70-year-old woman, who was seriously injured, received emergency medical treatment from the Vienna Professional Rescue Service and was transported to the shock room of a hospital.
