Nothing worked anymore – the fire brigade had to come here: the driver of a jeep underestimated the off-road capabilities of his vehicle, which threatened to slide down a slope into a river in Lower Austria. The extraordinary trip to the countryside ended lightly for the man and his passenger thanks to the efforts of fishermen and Florianis.
Pouring rain, muddy dirt roads and a flooding river. Not a good constellation for trips off the beaten track. But that didn’t bother an off-road fan: he went into nature with his co-driver. And with a powerful car: it’s unclear if he just wanted to test his advantages on rough terrain or maybe also to impress the woman. One thing is certain: the driver had only borrowed the powerful runabout. It could well be that he overestimated the potential of his car for this reason.
Stuck on the sandbank
In any case, it happened as it should: on a slope to a river, the vehicle reached its physical limits and got stuck on a muddy sandbank. Fishermen who were present rushed to help the couple in their predicament and were able to quickly rope the car before it slid further into the flooded river. However, every attempt by the Petrijünger to use their smaller jeeps to completely free the stuck all-terrain vehicle from the situation failed. So there was no choice but to call the fire department.
Fire brigade ordered tractor
