Further details have now become known after the accident at the Lutzmannsdorf thermal baths in Burgenland. The incident took place during a school trip: “The eleven-year-old lost consciousness while diving underwater. After the rescue, she was no longer breathing,” said a first aid worker.
Dramatic scenes took place around 10:30 am on Tuesday during a school trip at the Sonnentherme in Lutzmannsburg. An eleven-year-old boy from the Baden district (Lower Austria) was floating motionless in the water of the sports pool. A woman from Lower Austria who was in the pool with her family reacted with concern.
Child was not breathing
A minute or two seemed like an eternity to her. Without hesitation, the first aider went to the eleven-year-old. There was also a classmate with the student. The child was pulled from the pool. “Janvi was no longer breathing,” was the first alarm message.
The girl was placed in a stable side position at the edge of the outdoor pool and the rescue chain was set in motion. “The child was coughing violently. “She vomited water and foamed at the mouth for a while,” visitors reported.
Flown to hospital
The student was flown to the State Hospital Wiener Neustadt by the Christophorus 16 emergency medical helicopter. How the incident could have happened is under investigation. The rescued student could not be questioned for the time being. According to her parents and school, she is considered a very good swimmer. Together with classmates, she was involved in a diving game that was observed by teachers.
Girl was escorted
“The girl was therefore watched all the time. “Two lifeguards arrived at the scene of the accident immediately afterwards, as well as a doctor who had been called in as a guest.” A short time later, the medical and emergency medical teams arrived on site.”
Manuela Klawatsch from the thermal management: “The girl was helped as quickly as possible. It is still unclear why it lost consciousness underwater.”
Accident in 2023
Last March, as reported, a tragic accident overshadowed the otherwise pleasant atmosphere at the Sonnentherme Lutzmannsburg. A five-year-old child, visiting her father, jumped into a torrent unattended.
There was no rescue for the girl from Vienna. Little Dunija died in the hospital. The father eventually had to stand trial for murder by gross negligence. He was sentenced to a suspended prison sentence of six months and a fine of 2,700 euros.
