Fatal Crash in the Zell am the pilot from Germany did not survive – despite courageous first aid programs. The focus: a taxi driver from Syria …
“I saw the smoking surface and stopped immediately.” Taxi driver Zouhir Hussein did not hesitate – and acted in power! Born in Syrians, the plane crash in Zell am See received the plane accident on Tuesday. Together with two residents, he ran to the wreck as quickly as possible and offering wild first aid. “I wasn’t afraid, just made it,” he says.
Shortly thereafter, the sad certainty was: the pilot from Germany – he was alone in the small pilot – did not survive the violent impact. The emergency services were on the site of the accident two minutes after Zouhir Hussein, but could no longer do anything for the German. “All help came too late,” the police said.
More than 50 men from the fire brigade, from the Red Cross and the police were deployed. The helicopter of the emergency medicine “Alpin Heli 6” also left for the Zeller Airfield. Police officers blocked the location of the accident for a few hours.
The exact course of the accident is still unclear. The Flight Accident Commission of the Ministry of the Interior is now investigating. One thing is clear: the machine did not come from Austria, wanted to stop at Zeller Airport. At the landing approach it happened, just less than 200 meters before the runway, the plane collapsed in a meadow. This is located next to the old Kapruner Straße and a sidewalk. The machine did not catch fire, there was only a smaller smoke development.
Third flight accident within a few months
Time and again there are accidents with small planes in Salzburg. It was not until August 2024 that a light plane in Mauternorf crashed directly next to a residential building that survived the pilot. In November 2023, a Cirrus with four people in Lungau crashed in bad weather. All passengers died in place. The machine was overloaded according to an expert opinion.
