It doesn't often happen that rescue workers cannot find the place of action at all.
Particularly annoying - school children were injured during this mission.
A car rams a school bus in Kühbach.
When the rescuers finally arrive at the scene of the accident, the children are already gone.
They can only receive medical care in their schools.
Kühbach
- This Thursday (October 29
) nothing
seemed to be going right for the
police
or the
rescue workers
in
the Aichach district
(Swabia).
Just because of the message
"Accident with school bus"
, the helpers were probably electrified.
It is particularly annoying when you
simply cannot find
the
scene of
the
accident
.
It's even more annoying when the children who were actually
sitting
in the
school bus are
no longer there.
Kühbach: Drivers ramming school buses - helpers are looking in the wrong place
It was around 7.45 a.m. when a
school bus was
on its way to
Schrobenhausen
.
At the exit of
Kühbach
(Aichach-Friedberg district) it then crashed, writes the
Augsburger Allgemeine
(behind a payment barrier).
The
38-year-old bus driver
suddenly had to brake and stop between Postweg and Brunnenstrasse due to traffic.
A
20-year-old Opel Astra driver
overlooked that
and slammed into the rear of the bus.
The driver of a minibus
witnessed the accident
and immediately notified the
police
.
But what the officers didn't know, she was sent to the wrong place.
The caller sent the
police
and
rescue workers
to the nearby
B 300
.
But when the helpers arrived there was of
course no
sign of an
accident
.
They called the accident reporter again.
But it was only after some back and forth that the emergency services found the scene of the accident about 30 minutes later.
It was about one kilometer as the crow flies from its starting point on the
B 300
, said police spokesman Peter Löffler.
However, when we finally arrived at the scene, there was the next problem.
The
children
have already been taken
to their
schools
in
Schrobenhausen
in
a
replacement bus
.
Kühbach: Paramedics take care of the injured children at school
On site, the numerous rescuers found only the
slightly injured Opel driver
, who was taken to a hospital for further treatment.
The
bus driver then
explained to the helpers that the almost 50 children had been taken
to their schools in
another
bus
.
It was only then that it became clear that many of them were not doing as well as they initially seemed.
The
school administrators of
the three affected schools
then reported to the
police
and they sent around 40 paramedics to
Schrobenhausen
to take care of the children.
Result of the accident
:
four students
had to be taken to hospital.
23
slightly injured
children
were cared for in their schools.
The vehicles
suffered damage of around 10,000 euros
.
The
police
must now
clarify
why the students were taken away without waiting for the ambulance service
.
The situation was particularly bitter for the numerous helpers who
had gone out
to the
accident
.
Seven ambulances, six BRK emergency services, the
fire brigades
from Hörzhausen, Rettenbach, Peutenhausen, Gachenbach and Schrobenhausen and the
police
from Aichach and Schrobenhausen were condemned to inactivity.
“Everything went wrong that can go wrong,” said police spokesman Löffler at the end of the operation.
