Königswinter: Accident on the L268 - driver must be reanimated

On Friday, April 25th, a serious traffic accident on Landstrasse 268 in the Königswinterer district of Sandscheid occurred around 5:30 p.m. A driver has been injured so much in this incident that rescue workers had to intervene on site to revive him. The accident occurred when an SUV came off the road over a guardrail and fallen down before the vehicle overturned.

When the rescue workers arrived, the car was on the roof in a garden next to a house. First aiders had already tried to reach the trapped driver. Finally, the rescuers could get access to the vehicle via the tailgate, but initially no signs of life were to be determined. The “immediate rescue” was then started, which required the support of the fire brigade. After intensive resuscitation measures, the rescue workers had finally managed to put the seriously injured driver into a stable state. He was then transported to a hospital with an ambulance.

accident recording and further measures

The number of injuries was initially unclear, which is why the control center alerted additional ambulances and emergency medical vehicles. Among other things, the units from Uthweiler, Eudenbach and the rescue car of the Königswinter volunteer fire brigade from Ittenbach were deployed. The forces from Eudenbach were able to leave the site after a short time because the situation was cleared.

Currently, the police officers are still busy with the accident recording. A towing service was commissioned to rescue the damaged vehicle. Such incidents are reminiscent of how quickly dangerous situations can arise in road traffic due to unforeseen circumstances, and they underline the importance of the rapid reaction of emergency services and first aiders.

Accident statistics show that traffic accidents in Germany can often lead to serious injuries or even deaths. The importance of security measures, such as wearing seat belts and the responsible handling of the vehicle, must therefore not be underestimated. Public relations work to increase security awareness, especially among young drivers, remains an important aspect to reduce the number of accidents.
