Large-scale operation in Rum – flooding after an accident with hydrants

A 25-year-old driver lost control of her vehicle in Rum (Innsbruck Land district) and hit a hydrant. The leakage of water on the street and a wholesale market triggered a large-scale operation at the Rum and Thaur fire departments.

Nocturnal deployment for the fire brigades in Rum and Thaur after an accident in Siemensstrasse in Rum. A 25-year-old Afghan woman lost control of her car on Friday night for a previously unknown cause. She crashed into a hydrant, which subsequently leaked water. Water penetrated the street and the wholesale market “The hydrant was so badly damaged by the impact that not only was the street flooded by the water leak, water also penetrated the interior of the wholesale market,” reported the police. Members of the Rum and Thaur fire brigade are busy pumping the water out of the wholesale market and the street. The amount of the damage is currently unknown. The driver and her 17- and 22-year-old passengers were slightly injured in the accident and were admitted to the Hall hospital after the first aid. The vehicle was severely damaged.
