Elbigenalp – In a serious accident in Elbigenalp, a cow was indirectly responsible for ensuring that the victim was found and taken to the hospital. The 59-year-old farmer had left at 4:15 pm on a forest road to the left of the road and had crashed 15 meters above the embankment. The tractor was immobilized on the side, the driver was found stuck in the driver's cab.
The Tyrolean was conscious and could be felt by accidentally pbading employees of the torrent and avalanche control. They had just stopped on the forest road upstream because they wanted to drive a cow that blocked their way back to the pasture. It is unclear whether the men would have noticed the victim even though the cow had not gone to the forest at that time. According to an officer from Elbigenalp, the tractor was barely visible in the thicket. In any case, the rescuers immediately sounded the alarm and ensured that the victim could be recovered. Firefighters from Elbigenalp and Häselgehr lifted the tractor by means of lifting bags and scissors and released the seriously wounded. He had to be transported to the hospital of Innsbruck with the rescue helicopter. According to the police, he was injured in the pelvic area. (TT.com)
