Passers-by as rescuer
Woman jumped into a torrential stream behind her dog
A 60-year-old walker possibly prevented a tragedy on Wednesday in Ebbs (Tyrolean district of Kufstein): a 58-year-old dog owner had jumped into a cold, torrential stream behind her dog and was unable to get out on her own.
The 58-year-old local woman was walking her dog along the "Eaboch" in Ebbs on Wednesday evening when the dog lost its tennis ball and it rolled into the stream. The dog jumped after it, whereupon his wife followed him into the raging, cold stream, which had swollen to a depth of around 2.5 meters due to the rain of the last few days.
The 58-year-old woman followed the dog into the extremely cold water, which was around 2.5 meters deep.

The woman was unable to withstand the masses of water and was repeatedly pushed under the surface. An attentive passer-by finally noticed her and rushed to her aid. The 60-year-old managed to pull the woman to shore.
Those involved were very lucky
Paramedics and a first responder treated the severely hypothermic woman and took her to the district hospital in Kufstein. The Austrian woman was able to leave the hospital on Thursday. She, her rescuer and her dog were uninjured.
