Dramatic scenes unfolded in a forest near Frauenstein in Carinthia on Tuesday. There is great sadness and the painful question why among family and friends: an 18-year-old was killed by a tree.

Tree falls! On Tuesday, however, he did not fall to the ground between other trees in Frauenstein, but rather a forestry worker from the Klagenfurt-Land district. Colleagues immediately alerted the rescue workers. Emergency services from the Pisweg fire brigade were able to free the 18-year-old, who was trapped.
