Residents are lucky – truck trailer buries car below in whirlpool

Date:

A spectacular accident took place in the municipality of Schwarzach in Vorarlberg on Saturday. According to initial information, a truck trailer had gone off the road and pushed a Skoda over a slope. The car went into a whirlpool and ended up under the trailer and cargo. The owners of the whirlpool were especially lucky: they actually wanted to step into the whirlpool a few minutes later.

The accident happened Saturday morning. “We were called in for an accident where the situation on site was relatively unclear,” explains Thomas Steurer of the Schwarzach volunteer fire brigade. “Because the truck trailer and its load are on top of the car, it was initially not certain whether there were still people in the car.” Fortunately, that was not the case.

The couple on whose whirlpool the accident vehicles fell were also lucky. “We were just having breakfast and then actually wanted to go to the whirlpool,” says resident Bernd Kotzbeck, who thanked the emergency services for their quick and exemplary efforts.
