The BRK had to come to a bad accident with an eight-year-old girl from Berlin.
It fell 50 meters with its Kettcar.
Marktschellenberg - The Berchtesgaden Red Cross and the crew of the Salzburg rescue helicopter "Christophorus 6" were required on Maundy Thursday at the Köppl Schneidweg (Marktschellenberg, district of Berchtesgadener Land).
There, an eight-year-old girl, a holidaymaker from Berlin, fell 50 meters.
The girl was on Thursday around 5 p.m. with another girl (12, also on vacation from Berlin) on a Kettcar.
This is a four-wheeled vehicle for children that is propelled like a bicycle with pedals and a chain.
Rescue helicopter in action: eight-year-old falls 50 meters with a Kettcar
The girls were driving downhill and went off the road.
The twelve-year-old could still jump off, the eight-year-old girl no longer.
She drove the kettcar over a ledge and fell 50 meters down a steep embankment.
The emergency doctor and emergency paramedics took care of the eight-year-old and then flew her to the Salzburg State Hospital.
The 12-year-old escaped with a fright.
Officers from the Berchtesgaden police recorded the accident.
