The forestry worker (51), who was seriously injured after the accident, had to be rescued from the rescue helicopter with the rope after initial treatment by the emergency doctor and taken to the clinic in Innsbruck. He was hit by a tree.
A 51-year-old was seriously injured on Wednesday morning during forestry work in the so-called “Durrich Forest” in the municipality of Kappl in the Tyrolean district of Landeck. The man and three colleagues had pulled two hanging trees out of the forest to the forest path above. While he was being pulled up, the upper part of a tree suddenly broke off and hit the 51-year-old, who was walking uphill along the trees and then pulled the rope back down into the valley.
Thrown through the air
The worker was thrown several meters down and remained lying against a tree with serious injuries, the police said. The Austrian was first treated by the emergency doctor from a rescue helicopter and then rescued with a rope. He was then flown to the clinic in Innsbruck.
