There they discovered the injured 40-year-old on the sixth floor, who had fallen from the floor above.

The next steps were coordinated on site.
The most effective and safest method was to attach a sanding basket stretcher to the construction crane.
“The crane driver then drove the injured person on the sanding basket stretcher and an accompanying fire service worker down to the street to provide care,” the fire department continues.
There the patient was transferred to a stretcher and taken to a Munich hospital in an ambulance.
