Unusual use for the fire brigade: In the Amperschlucht near Grafrath a man fell into the depths - from his electric wheelchair.
He could not have freed himself from his predicament on his own.
Grafrath - The elderly man was out and about on the idyllic path on the Amper with his electric wheelchair between Fürstenfeldbruck and Grafrath.
At first everything went smoothly.
But finally the way became noticeably narrower.
The electric scooter then overturned at a narrow point.
The man in him fell ten meters down the slope.
It stopped just short of the water's edge
Fortunately, a doctor happened to come along on her bike.
She took care of the handicapped casualty until the fire brigade was on site.
The emergency services from Bruck pulled the apparently uninjured older men up the slope.
To be on the safe side, he came to the hospital.
The police secured the wheelchair.
