In the middle of the snow chaos

On Tuesday, a 33-year-old German man was driving along a mountain road in Zillertal with his eleven-month-old son in the car - without any winter equipment such as snow chains or suitable tires. The car overturned on an embankment.
At around 12.30 p.m. on Tuesday, a 33-year-old German man was driving his car on the snow-covered mountain road on Hochfügenerstraße in the municipality of Fügenberg.
The man hit the embankment on the mountain side, causing the vehicle to tip to one side and come to rest on the passenger side. The man's eleven-month-old son was also in the vehicle.
Witnesses alerted the emergency services
Witnesses present set the rescue chain in motion. The man was able to hand his son out of the vehicle to the witnesses. The 33-year-old was also able to free himself from the car after the volunteer fire department had secured the vehicle.
With summer tires in the snow chaos
The driver was uninjured, the child was taken to Innsbruck Hospital by the ambulance service for medical clarification. As it turned out in the course of the accident investigation, summer tires were mounted on all wheels and snow chains were not in use.
The Hochfügenerstraße was closed to all traffic in the area of the accident for the duration of the operation.
