Although the situation in snowy Völkermarkt (Carinthia) has now calmed down, the snow still causes injuries. A pavilion collapsed on top of a 41-year-old woman from the weight of the snow on the roof. A 51-year-old was also injured when he tried to remove the white splendor from his family home.
In Velden, the 51-year-old stood on the roof of his parental home around 4:30 p.m. to clear the snow. “He fell from the roof and ended up on the roof of a carport right next to the house,” reports the Velden police. With injuries of undetermined extent, he was taken to the LKH Villach by the rescue service.
Buried under pavilion
Just a few hours earlier, at around 11am, troops from the Gallizien and Abbey Volunteer Fire Department had to free a woman from under parts of her pavilion. It collapsed when the 41-year-old leaned against a ladder and climbed it. “Shortly afterwards, the pavilion collapsed under the weight of the snow,” police said. The woman was taken to the Klagenfurt clinic with unknown injuries.
