Very unfortunate accident in Spital am Pyhrn. A grandfather was doing repairs on his trailer and tipped it backwards. However, his two-year-old grandson had approached unnoticed and tipped the trailer back – with serious consequences.
On June 9, 2024, around 10:30 a.m., a 59-year-old from the Kirchdorf district was repairing his car trailer in the drawbar area in the driveway of his house. To make working more comfortable, he tilted the trailer backwards so that the drawbar came up.
Blow in the chest
Meanwhile, his two-year-old grandson was playing nearby. In a brief moment of inattention, the toddler grabbed the steering wheel and leaned on it. The trailer then tipped forward and the two-year-old was struck in the chest by the drawbar.
The 59-year-old was in the immediate vicinity and was able to partially intercept the drawbar. The child was flown by the rescue helicopter “Christophorus 14” to the Pyhrn-Eisenwurzen Klinikum Kirchdorf for treatment.
