Fall into River in Lower Austria: 70-Year-Old Rescued

The man got stuck in the riverbed of the "Kalten Gang," causing his head to be pushed underwater, reported the fire department. A witness to the incident immediately intervened as a first responder, entered the river, and held the 70-year-old's head above water until the fire department arrived.

The fire departments of Zwölfaxing, Pellendorf, and Himberg freed the man from his predicament using a spineboard - a special stretcher. He was taken to the hospital for medical evaluation by the rescue services.
