Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen At around 5 p.m., the 84-year-old man frantically contacted his friend to say that he could no longer find his car. A search operation was then launched in the floodplain area between Mannsdorf an der Donau, Probstdorf and Schönau an der Donau. Several police patrols took part in the search, as well as a drone and a service dog.
"The search proved to be extremely difficult due to the onset of darkness, the wintry weather conditions and the rough terrain," said the police.
After around two hours, the missing man was found. He was discovered at the southern end of the forest in the municipality of Schönau an der Donau. The 84-year-old was already suffering from hypothermia, but was otherwise in good health, according to the police. The rescue service took care of the pensioner.
