Two injured
Serious accident involving a historically valuable vintage car
A vintage car from the 1930s was badly damaged during a drive in Bad Goisern. It crashed into a steep section of woodland and became stuck in a tree. Both occupants - a couple from Vienna - were injured and trapped in the car. Firefighters had to rescue them. The recovery of the historically valuable MG SA Saloon proved to be difficult.
The dangerous accident happened on the exit in the Wildpfad district. On a narrow stretch of road, the driver of the classic car suddenly heard a loud rumble, left the road with his car and plunged several meters over a steep embankment into the forest. The vehicle overturned twice.
Fortunately, trees prevented it from plunging even further. The historic car, an MG SA Saloon built in 1937, came to a standstill against a tree trunk.
Both the Viennese driver (81) and his wife, who was riding in the passenger seat, were injured in the accident. Both were unable to leave the damaged vehicle on their own and the doors of the MG could no longer be opened.
After an inspection and initial treatment by the emergency doctor and rescue service, the firefighters opened a car door using hydraulic rescue equipment. The vehicle was also secured on a cable winch to prevent it from slipping further.
The two casualties were then rescued from the steep terrain on drag basket stretchers and handed over to the rescue service.
The subsequent recovery of the 87-year-old accident vehicle also proved to be difficult. "Because of the narrow road, we had to use two fire department cranes to lift the classic car back onto the road," said head of operations Claus Ebner from the Bad Goisern fire service.
After the vehicle was handed over to a towing service, the four fire departments (Weissenbach, Lauffen, St. Agatha and Bad Goisern) were able to return to the scene.
