Lower Austria: Car Lifted Off in Accident and Landed in Riverbed
A car landed in a riverbed in Göstling an der Ybbs (Scheibbs district) on Sunday afternoon. On the way home from skiing, the driver veered off the B31 for an unknown reason. The car drove about 40 meters over a meadow, took off and landed 31 meters from the shore in the icy water. The two occupants were able to leave the car on their own, reported the local fire department. Mother and daughter were taken to the hospital.

Other drivers saw the accident, provided first aid and alerted the emergency services. Two firefighters helped the occupants over the icy slope. Among the first responders was also a nurse who took over the care until the rescue arrived.
The heavily damaged car, which was lying on the passenger side, was salvaged with the help of the crane from the Amstetten fire brigade. The helpers were on duty for about five hours.
