Rescuers could hardly believe it early Tuesday evening when they were called to an accident in Weilbach, Upper Austria. A tree pierced the black SUV of a 27-year-old driver with full force. The accident car was completely destroyed. The young woman stood next to it – virtually unharmed.
The images of the accident are shocking. The huge tree trunk impaled most of the car. The windshield and passenger door are particularly affected. The tree was stuck in the body at the front and rear.
The woman had left the road for unknown reasons, was unable to steer and crashed into the tree trunk that jutted out of the forest like a peak.
Apparently the weight of the snow and an earlier storm caused the tree to fall on its side. It is a miracle that the driver is still alive: the 27-year-old was able to climb out of the car himself after the accident. The tree missed the driver’s side by a few inches.
“It wasn’t until I was sitting in the car with the emergency workers and looking at the scene of the accident that I noticed how wild it looked. It involved very, very few centimeters,” she says in an interview with Radio Oberösterreich.
According to the 27-year-old, she is doing well under the circumstances. Looking at the photos, she can hardly believe she escaped with only bruises and scrapes. This feels like a second birthday to her. The driver has now been released from hospital.
If anyone had been on the passenger side, that person probably wouldn’t have had a chance. (An)
