Falling tree
Seriously injured during work despite protective clothing
Two Carinthians had tried to run away from two falling trees. Unfortunately, a 42-year-old man was too slow and was hit by a branch.
A 42-year-old man from the Völkermarkt district suffered serious injuries in a wooded area in Eisenkappel-Vellach on Thursday afternoon - even though he was wearing the prescribed protective clothing! He was working together with a man from Klagenfurt (58) in the steep forest terrain on logging work: "Due to two cut trees that had become wedged, they discussed whether they should pull one of the trees away with a cable winch," the police describe.
Hit by a branch
Suddenly, both trees toppled towards the men, who were still trying to run away. While the 58-year-old was able to get to safety in time, his colleague was hit by a branch of a falling tree and seriously injured: "The 58-year-old took the injured man by car to the nearest property, from where he was then flown to Klagenfurt Hospital in the C11 rescue helicopter."
