Tyrolean (62) in hospital – injured in the face by a chainsaw during woodworking

Date:

Serious accident during woodworking on Saturday afternoon in Kirchberg in Tirol (Kitzbühel district)! A local man (62) was about to cut down a log when he lost control of his chainsaw and injured his face. The man had to be flown to hospital.

Just before 4 p.m., the 62-year-old was chopping wood in a forest in the municipality of Kirchberg. The man was using a chainsaw. “Suddenly the spinning saw bounced back. The worker was injured in the forehead,” the police said. However, according to the officials, apparently only superficially.

Daughter called an ambulance
The injured man managed to call his daughter himself. This finally set the rescue chain in motion. The 62-year-old was treated on site in the forest and then flown to the district hospital in St. Johann in Tirol with the emergency medical helicopter Christophorus 4.
