On Saturday, two boys were driven onto the icy Kreuzenstein swimming lake in Leobendorf (Korneuburg district) in a boat without a paddle. They wanted to save themselves by swimming – the result was a major operation.
Dramatic scenes took place on Saturday at the Kreuzenstein swimming lake near Korneuburg (Lower Austria). Two 14-year-old boys discovered an abandoned boat and got in without thinking much.
Boat floated away, duo jumped into the water
The Schinakl floated onto the swimming lake. They noticed too late that the oars were missing. Desperate, the duo jumped into the icy water to swim to shore. One of the two died and his friend raised the alarm. Rescuers arrived.
The fire brigade was able to remove the boy’s lifeless body from the water. According to police, the 14-year-old, who was suffering from severe hypothermia, was flown “under continuous resuscitation” to the Vienna-Donaustadt clinic, where doctors are fighting for his life.
