Caught by tree trunk
Styrian injured while clearing storm damage
A 62-year-old forest owner was hit and seriously injured by a tree trunk during logging work in Ebersdorfberg in eastern Styria on Saturday. Colleagues brought him out of the forest using a tipping skip.
In Styria, many forest owners are still busy dealing with the recent storm damage. This included a 62-year-old man from eastern Styria, who was working with two other men on Saturday to clear fallen trees in his forest in Ebersdorfberg (Hartberg-Fürstenfeld district).
When he tried to cut down a pine tree, he was hit on the lower left leg by the tree trunk and seriously injured. The two other men became aware of the accident when the injured man shouted loudly. After giving the 62-year-old first aid, they carried him on the tipper body of a tractor to a forest path, from where the Red Cross took the man to hospital.
