Car driver ended up in the creek bed

The man from the Wels-Land district was heading towards Bad Wimsbach at around 6:15 p.m. when he left the road on the right for reasons that have not yet been clarified and rammed several guide posts before he broke through a bridge railing with his vehicle and fell into a stream bed. The pickup truck landed on its side.

The fire brigade finally saved him from his predicament. The 51-year-old had to be taken to the Wels clinic by emergency helicopter. Because his car had to be recovered with a crane vehicle, the road was closed for around two hours. The vehicle was a total loss and the bridge was heavily damaged.
