Death at the Warehouse of Chip Manufacturer "Kelly's": Viennese Man Died Trapped Under Freight Elevator

Around 8:45 PM, the police were called to Hermann-Gebauer-Straße because a man was trapped under a freight elevator. When the police arrived, the Vienna professional fire brigade was already on site, lifting the freight elevator with technical means and rescuing the 53-year-old Austrian citizen. The Vienna professional rescue service, which was also already present, then took over. However, an emergency doctor could only confirm the man's death.

Employees of the company stated that they observed the freight elevator starting to move. Shortly thereafter, they heard screams and cries for help. Their own attempts to move the freight elevator were unsuccessful, which is why the emergency services were immediately notified.

The labor inspectorate was informed. A labor inspector then went to the scene of the incident. Further investigations are underway.
