In St. Konrad – Father run over by tree trunk while working with his son

A 78-year-old man was doing forestry work with his 30-year-old son in their community of St. Konrad on Tuesday around 11:30 a.m. The father was lying on the ground, on a slope between several tree trunks, while the son, sitting on the forestry trailer, was loading a tree trunk with the crane.

The block of wood has slipped out of the pliers
The tree trunk slipped out of the crane’s clamp, fell to the ground and rolled over the 78-year-old. He remained lying on the ground between the tree trunks with unknown injuries. The injured man was first treated by the Scharnstein Red Cross and the Gmunden emergency medical team and then taken to Gmunden hospital.
