Three dead with spectacular frontal collision in Ulm!
This evening, a tragic traffic accident occurred on the Thalfinger Uferstrasse near the exhibition center. According to the reports of Schwäbische.de , the accident report was received at the lifeguard control center. A total of four people were involved in the frontal collision between a Mercedes C43 and a Volkswagen. The consequences of the accident were devastating: in collisions, three people lost their lives while another person was taken to the hospital seriously injured.
The rescue workers arrived quickly. Two first aiders were able to free one of the drivers from their vehicle and immediately carried out resuscitation measures. Despite these efforts, the emergency doctor found death to one person while another person could be reanimated at the scene of the accident, but later died in the hospital. The fire brigade and the emergency services worked hand in hand to supply the injured and to secure the scene of the accident.
rescue chain in use
The incident illustrates the importance of the rescue chain, which is activated after an accident or illness. According to haufe.de , the rescue chain begins with immediate measures such as securing the accident site and the heart lung resuscitation. These first steps are crucial for the survival chances of the injured. After the first aid, further measures follow and the handover to the emergency services, which continues the supply and transports those affected to the hospital.
The collaboration between the emergency services was crucial. The fire brigade supported the emergency services with technical aids such as rescue scissors to free the injured from the badly damaged vehicles. In the early morning, the street remained closed due to the extensive clean -up work and examinations.
importance of first aid
accidents like this also make a highlight of the need for first aid. As can be seen from a study by fernarztar.com , first-aid measures are an indispensable part of the rescue chain. Former DRK President Dr. Rudolf Seiter emphasizes that a one-time first aid course is not sufficient and recommends refreshing every five years. Statistics show that an average of eight people die in road traffic in Germany every day. Therefore, quick and competent actions by first aiders are crucial for success in emergencies.
The circumstances of the current accident are still being determined and an expert in accident analysis was consulted. It remains to be seen which knowledge about the exact course of the accident comes to light, especially since there is an overtaking ban at the scene of the accident and the speed is limited to a maximum of 70 km/h.
