Contrary to what was originally presented, an accident occurred on Saturday afternoon in the Kreuzenstein swimming lake in Leobendorf (Korneuburg district): a 14-year-old did not break through the ice cover, but wanted to swim to the shore. He had previously been drifted onto the lake with a peer in a boat that had no paddles. The Lower Austria State Police Directorate confirmed a corresponding online report on Sunday afternoon.

According to a spokeswoman, the young people went for a walk and then got into the boat. While one of the boys subsequently managed to swim to the shore, the other was discovered floating in the water after the emergency services were alerted. The local fire department reported that a person had been pulled out of the ice-cold lake and that resuscitation measures were being carried out. According to police, the 14-year-old was severely hypothermic.
