Alarm via mobile phone – farmer (61) trapped under the overturning tractor

A farmer fell victim to a terrible accident in Regau. The 61-year-old was partially buried under his falling tractor. Thanks to a mobile phone, however, he was able to contact his wife, who immediately sounded the alarm.

A farmer from Regau carried out forestry work alone on Monday around 12 noon with a tractor in his private forest. While he was pulling the trees that had already been felled out of the impassable terrain with the cable winch attached to the tractor, the agricultural vehicle suddenly tipped sideways. Fortunately, he was able to call his wife on his mobile phone, who immediately set the rescue chain in motion. The 61-year-old was freed by the Regau fire department and given first aid by the emergency doctor. Then he was taken to the Salzkammergut Klinikum Vöcklabruck with serious injuries.
