Date:

Serious industrial accident early Friday afternoon in Kapfenberg: A 33-year-old man overturned his wheel loader over an embankment. The man was trapped by the heavy vehicle and was seriously injured.

The 33-year-old man was emptying garbage cans with a wheel loader at a cemetery in Kapfenberg around 1:30 p.m. The worker lost his way and fell off an embankment. The Turk, who lives in Leoben, may have tried to save himself by jumping. However, the heavy vehicle fell on the man, crushing him from the waist down.

The seriously injured man called for help, his colleagues immediately ran to it and immediately alerted the rescue services. After first aid from the emergency doctor, the wheel loader was lifted by the fire brigade with air cushions and the man was freed with hydraulic shears.
