On Wednesday, the emergency services in Mellach (Styria) were called out to a tricky operation: A man had crashed his car into the ice-cold Mühlkanal and had to be rescued.

The Mellach volunteer fire department was called out in the early hours of Wednesday morning. They were called to a vehicle rescue in the district of Dillach, where a driver had crashed his silver car into the Mühlkanal. The man was still stuck in the car and had to be rescued as quickly as possible.

Driver remained uninjured
The emergency services used an extension ladder to climb down to the bed of the stream and gain access to the vehicle. The man, who was severely hypothermic, was handed over to the rescue team - miraculously, he was otherwise uninjured.

Together with the Gössendorf fire department, the car was then lifted out of the stream, and after around two hours the volunteers were able to return to the fire station.
