22-year-old seriously injured while working in the forest in Steinau
When the workers brought down a beech tree, a massive, broken branch apparently came loose. This hit the 22-year-old worker with full force in the head. Although the young man was wearing his protective gear, he suffered serious head injuries from the force of the impact. A rescue helicopter was called in and took the injured person to a clinic.
The police have started an investigation to clarify the exact cause of the accident. It is also unclear whether the second worker involved was negligent.
Just a few days earlier there was also a helicopter operation in Steinau. A driver left the road for unknown reasons and crashed into a property wall. The car had to be towed after the accident.
