Landed in a stream bed – fell into a ravine: the steering wheel was thrown out of the car

Date:

Spectacular accident in Ginzling in the Tyrolean district of Schwaz on Saturday! During a turning maneuver, a German (60) fell 30 meters into a ravine with his car. The driver was thrown from the vehicle and injured. A helicopter had to arrive.

The accident happened shortly after 5 p.m. The 60-year-old was driving his car in Ginzling on the old country road between Roßhang and Breitlahner. “Because there were large stones on the gravel road, he could no longer continue his journey,” police said. As a result, the driver had to perform a turning maneuver.

Flown to the clinic by helicopter
However, that went completely wrong. “The vehicle veered off the trail and fell 100 feet into the Zemm Gorge.” As a result of the impact, the 60-year-old was thrown from the vehicle and remained ten meters above the streambed. After initial treatment, the injured person was rescued with rope and flown to the clinic in Innsbruck. The Florianijüngers of the Mayrhofen volunteer fire brigade recovered the car.
