Drama in Styria – plane crashed: both occupants were found dead

Date:

Only the death of the pilot and another passenger in a sports plane could be salvaged tonight. The pilot made an emergency call in the afternoon in the Styrian Wechsel and then remained unreachable. Task forces searched for the plane from the air and found it in a wooded area that was difficult to access. There was no more help for the prisoners.

More details about where the occupants came from and the cause of the crash are not yet known, but so much: The pilot of the sports plane that was in the air over the Hartberg-Fürstenfeld district made an emergency call in the afternoon. Subsequent attempts to reach him were unsuccessful.

Search by helicopter
Search flights were conducted over the inaccessible forest area with helicopters from the Federal Ministry of the Interior. Rescuers were finally able to locate the plane in rough terrain near Vorau.

“Smashed into the Middle of the Woods”
Rescuers went to the scene and quickly found the wreckage. What a drama: there was no rescue for the pilot and the passengers, both could only be recovered dead. “The plane crashed into trees in the middle of the forest,” said Thomas Allmer, head of operations at the fire department, which was deployed with 30 men. A terrifying sight, even for the experienced rescuers…
