Accident Involving Old-Timer Tractor Leaves Multiple Injured in Tyrol, Austria
A tragic accident occurred on Sunday evening in the small Austrian town of Tarrenz, located in the Imst district. According to reports, a tractor lost control and veered onto the roadside, overturning, causing serious injuries to several occupants.
The tractor, an old-timer model, was being driven by a 16-year-old Austrian local. Three passengers, including a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old, were riding on the tractor's seats. One person was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries, while the remaining occupants were taken to hospital with injuries of unknown severity.
The accident occurred at around 5:20 PM on the L246 Obtarrenzer Straße. All occupants were thrown from the vehicle, and the police are currently investigating the exact cause of the accident.
Unfortunately, this accident is part of a larger trend in Austria, where every third farm accident involves a child. A 17-year-old was unsecured on a wooden loading platform at the rear of the tractor at the time of the accident.
The news article does not provide any information about the identity or condition of the person airlifted to hospital with serious injuries. The police are urging anyone with information regarding the accident to come forward.
The accident is not specified as being a vintage tractor, but the focus of the reports is on the accident details and medical response, not on the employment of the 16-year-old driver.
This incident serves as a grim reminder of the importance of safety precautions when operating machinery on farms and public roads. The authorities in Tyrol, Austria, are urging farmers and tractor drivers to take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of themselves and others.
