Almost drowned: Emergency services rescued young man
Loud cries for help echoed through Campingbad Nord on Lake Klopein in Carinthia on Saturday: A 19-year-old was in danger of drowning. Fortunately, not only water rescuers helped, but also other bathers.
The young man had gone swimming around midday when he needed help shortly after plunging into the cool water, as eyewitnesses reported. "Despite the high temperatures and calm water conditions, he suddenly got into trouble," said the Klopein water rescue team, describing the incident.
19-year-old suffered cramps
He screamed for help! And it wasn't just water rescuers who immediately rushed to help: "Fortunately for the young man, bathers who bravely intervened were able to keep him afloat," the civil courage is praised. The 19-year-old was no longer able to keep himself afloat due to cramps - but by then the water rescuers had already reached the man in distress.
Lifesaving
When he was brought back to the jetty, he was immediately treated by a doctor who happened to be present: "He helped to stabilize the casualty," the water rescue service continues. "We hope that the vacation guest will be able to leave the hospital again after a short recovery period!"
