Accident drama in Graz
Excavator plunged into excavation pit: driver (58) dead
Tragic work accident on the large construction site near the University of Graz: a 58-year-old man fell into a gravel pit with a mini excavator and was trapped under the machine. The man from Graz died after being taken to hospital.
A serious accident occurred early on Wednesday morning on the construction site of the former pre-clinic of the University of Graz, where the new physics center is currently under construction.
Man died in hospital
According to the police, a 58-year-old man fell into a three-meter-deep gravel pit with a mini-excavator at around 08:15 and became trapped under the machine. After first aid by police officers, the man from Graz was resuscitated by a team of emergency doctors, but succumbed to his serious injuries after being taken to Graz Regional Hospital. The labor inspectorate ruled out the possibility of third-party negligence.
The operation was also very dangerous for the police officers who provided first aid: They began resuscitation under the excavator, which had been lifted up or was lying on its side. Boulders kept breaking off and falling into the pit.
