Shock in the Mariazellerland: Forest workers seriously injured in the event of an accident!

Klausgraben, Österreich - In the picturesque forests of the Mariazellerland, an unfortunate accident occurred on Friday morning. A forest worker injured himself in the Klausgraben, near Vistula, while he was busy with his work in the steep and rough terrain. The injury to the foot needed him to call help, and so 140 support was requested via the Alpinnotruf. The rapid reaction of the emergency services was crucial.

The mountain rescue Mariazell immediately moved to the scene of the accident to ensure the initial care of the injured man. The mountain rescuers not only provided first aid, but also stabilized the patient so that they could be transported safely. The injured person was then brought to a place that was suitable for air transport to take him to the nearest hospital as quickly as possible.

A total of eleven mountain rescuers, two police officers and the rescue workers were deployed, which demonstrated the great professionalism and operational readiness of the emergency services.
