Large-scale operation at the train station in Steinhöring: According to initial information, a person was hit by a train.
Numerous fire brigades and BRK forces are on site.
Update from May 26, 1:37 p.m.: The
fact that the accident apparently turned out relatively
mildly was
also due to the train driver's
quick-witted
reaction.
According to the police spokesman, he saw the young people running towards the regional train and initiated an emergency braking before the collision.
In this way he prevented the train from running over the girl.
Update from May 26, 11.50 a.m.:
The injured person, who has meanwhile been flown to a clinic by helicopter, is a 14-year-old girl from Steinhöring.
The police chief inspector Stephan Mittermaier confirmed at the accident site.
Fortunately, the head injuries do not seem to be as serious as initially feared: Despite a laceration and cuts, the girl was approachable when she was taken away, says Anton Höfer, commander of the Steinhöring fire brigade and head of operations.
In addition, some ribs may be broken.
To be on the safe side, the rescue helicopter flew the young people out - also to quickly clarify possible internal injuries.
