Serious accident at work Monday morning in Gries am Brenner in Tyrol: When his colleague at work tried to put down heavy metal plates with a forklift truck, a young man fell underneath and injured his head and upper body.
At around 11:15 am, two Romanians (aged 33 and 24) were shifting heavy metal plates on a company site. The 33-year-old moved the panels with the forklift, while his younger colleague placed the wooden supports. The forklift driver overlooked him and began to lower the metal plates, although the 24-year-old was still underneath them.
Employee provided first aid
The Romanian was pressed to the ground by the plates. When his colleague heard a scream, he immediately drove the fork back up and parked the truck. He then initiated the rescue chain and administered first aid to his colleague. He sustained injuries to his head, chest and shoulders. The emergency doctor took over his care on the spot, after which the rescue took the injured to the clinic in Innsbruck.
Police said the injured man and his colleague were not wearing a helmet or safety vest at the time of the accident.
