Due to winter driving conditions, a vehicle left the road in the Obergrafenhof district. It plunged about 150 meters into a ditch and came to rest in the bed of a stream. The driver, a 75-year-old man, was trapped.
The St. Veit fire department was quickly on the scene and colleagues from Schwarzach and St. Johann rushed to help. The Schwarzach volunteer fire department writes: "After handing over the seriously injured person to the mountain rescue team and the emergency doctor, the emergency services moved to the bottom of the Veitbach stream to set up oil barriers as a precaution. The vehicle was recovered by the St. Veit fire department in a complex rescue operation."
It took over four hours to recover the vehicle. The injured person was taken to the hospital in Schwarzach.
