The Siegen fire department was busy with an unusual operation Thursday afternoon at the Fischbacherberg. The Audi threatened to slide and he had to be rescued with heavy equipment. This is how the operation went

Win. A short trip out of the garage ended abruptly at the embankment of an 83-year-old man with his Audi A4 at the Fischbacherberg. “A person in danger in Siegen – a person threatening to fall down an embankment with a car” was the word of the alarm for the fire department and the rescue service on Thursday afternoon around 4:45 pm

Three parts of the Siegen fire department in action

The Siegen fire brigade and the Eiserfeld and Hammerhütte units as support quickly reached Friedrich-Ebert-Straße. An ambulance with an emergency doctor also rolled to the scene.

At the scene, emergency services found the car hanging from an embankment. Behind the wheel was an 83-year-old driver who, according to the fire department, had previously driven the car out of the garage.

The reason is still not explained

For reasons still unclear, he had gone back down the steep road. Even the edge of the road could not stop the Audi, so the car went backwards and ended up stuck after a few meters through the bushes and on the ground.

The road is completely closed

The wrecked car had to be recovered by a towing company using a crane. Friedrich-Ebert-Straße was completely closed for the duration of the operation.
