Three vehicle occupants had a breakdown on the Loiblpass on the afternoon of work. Her car plunged headfirst into a stream bed. Ferlach’s fire chief Ingemar Ulbricht was one of the first on the scene of the accident.
The 65-year-old driver, whose car was already equipped with summer tires, lost control of the car on the winter road on Tuesday afternoon. “The car left the snow-covered road in a slight bend and fell over an embankment and a wall ledge, overturned and ended up in the stream, where it ended up on its roof,” said Ingemar Ulbricht, commander of the Ferlach fire brigade and one of the of the first at the scene of the accident.
Commander as first responder
“I was driving the snow plow on the Loiblpass section of road when the operation took place,” Ulbricht said in an interview with the “Krone”. Floriani was only a few meters away from the accident scene and therefore went directly to the accident vehicle. “When I arrived, the three occupants of the vehicle had already been extricated from the wreckage.”
The driver (65), his wife (61) and their daughter (23) were then handed over to the Red Cross and taken to the UKH Klagenfurt. During the rescue work, the Loiblpass national road had to be closed to all traffic.
Car overturned in Rosental
A motorist (52) from Germany skidded on a soaked road in St. Jakob im Rosental on Tuesday afternoon. The car hit the embankment, overturned, was thrown back onto the road and came to a rest lying on its roof. The driver was injured in the accident and had to be taken to the LKH Villach by the rescue team.
Different missions due to the weather
But not only the Ferlach fire brigade had to be deployed on Tuesday. “Several traffic accidents occurred in Carinthia,” the state alarm and warning center said. In addition, some trees have blocked the roads in Carinthia. “But other than that everything is going very smoothly.”
