According to initial information from the fire department, the pilot remained virtually uninjured, but was taken to the hospital for evaluation. According to the Lower Austria State Police Directorate, it was probably a failed emergency landing, as a result of which the aircraft overturned and came to rest on the roof. But the man was able to free himself from it.
“Everything is fine. He is on his feet,” said a spokesman for the Echsenbach volunteer fire department. The pilot had apparently tried to land in a field between the Echsenbach cadastral communities of Kleinpoppen and Wolfenstein. The exact cause of the accident was initially unknown. This is determined by flight control.
Several fire departments from the region were on duty, as were police and rescue services. The emergency services were alerted around 2 p.m. According to the fire department, the pilot is probably a Czech.
