Loss of control in the middle of the western highway – flying ten kilometers blind, with no memory of the route or speed – cerebral hemorrhage! “I don’t know why I didn’t cause an accident,” says Heinz Durstberger (62) from Linz, who met his guardian angels a year ago today, October 10, 2023, near Laakirchen in Upper Austria.
The two Styrians Viola Strametz-Hatenthaler (45) and Thomas Schaun (51) from Weiz were driving in their car behind Linzer’s Mazda convertible around 2 p.m. and thought: “He is drunk. He was driving very slowly and then suddenly stopped. ” the highway.
“We knew we had to do something”
“We knew something was wrong and we had to help,” said the two Styrians, who were in Upper Austria for work, explaining why they decided to park their car. “A truck driver also stopped and blocked the road,” Durstberger was later told. But the third guardian angel rode on again when the danger had been averted.
Together the helpers pulled the apathetic Mazda driver out of the convertible. They also put the car on the emergency lane on the other side of the road and called the emergency services. An eight millimeter brain hemorrhage was discovered in the hospital; Fortunately, surgery was not necessary.
The contact between rescuers and guardian angels continues
“What do you give your rescuers in need?” Heinz Durstberger asked the Styrian duo. “Nothing, that was clear,” was the answer. A meeting has already taken place between the three of them, which will be repeated soon; they are still in touch.
Convertible instead of patrol car in the police garage
By the way: Ansfelden highway police took the stranded Mazda for inspection – and because they couldn’t close the roof, they parked it in the garage instead of a patrol car until it was picked up again.
