Spectacular exercise
Cyclist trapped under streetcar, car overturned
Spectacular emergency drill on "Line 5" on Thursday evening. The Innsbruck public transport company (IVB) rehearsed with the blue light organizations for an emergency. A faked accident in the area of the Neu-Rum Glungezerstrasse stop triggered a major operation.
A cyclist was trapped under a streetcar and several passengers were injured, some of them seriously, during the braking maneuver. A car with several occupants was also involved in the accident.
Several emergency ambulances, the ambulance service, the Rum volunteer fire department and the Innsbruck professional fire department with special lifting equipment had to arrive to rescue the cyclist and the other injured persons.
This was the exercise scenario on Thursday evening in Neu-Rum near Innsbruck. The exercise was over after around two hours.
"The rescue chain worked very well"
IVB incident commander Harald Jösslin draws a positive balance: "The rescue chain worked very well. With so many road users in urban traffic, critical situations can always arise. Accordingly, we also train our drivers very intensively and regularly practice emergencies in order to coordinate well with the emergency services."
