Hit by a car
Graz: 13-year-old seriously injured on his way to school
Dramatic incident on Thursday morning in Graz: a 13-year-old boy tripped on his way to school and fell onto the road. A car driver was unable to brake in time.
The dramatic incident occurred in Münzgrabenstraße in Graz at around 7 a.m. on Thursday. Initial investigations revealed that the 13-year-old boy probably tripped on his way to school and fell from the sidewalk onto the road. A car driver was unable to brake and hit the pupil.
Difficult operation
"It certainly looked very difficult at first because the pupil was trapped under the vehicle," reports Heimo Kohlbacher from the Styrian Provincial Police Directorate. "However, he was freed from this situation very quickly by the Graz professional fire department," he adds.
Had to be resuscitated
"The boy had to be resuscitated on site", reports Martin Trampusch, head of operations at the Graz professional fire department. The 13-year-old is currently in hospital, where he is undergoing surgery. Reports that the boy's life is in danger have not been confirmed.
The crisis intervention team also had to be deployed: "Both eyewitnesses and the emergency services were deeply affected by the incident", reports Heimo Kohlbacher.
