On Thursday around 2.45 p.m., a kite surfer (65) from the Vöcklabruck district collided with the motorboat of a 78-year-old from the Gmunden district on Lake Traunsee. Two trauma surgeons were taking a sailing course when the accident happened. They immediately rushed to help the injured 65-year-old. Emergency services arrived just eight minutes later.

The 65-year-old fell off his sports equipment and injured himself. Lucky for him, two trauma surgeons were just doing a sailing course nearby. They immediately came to the aid of the injured athlete and alerted the rescue team.
