A 34-year-old Hungarian worker has died in a horrific accident in Austria after a huge concrete panel fell on him.
According to index.hu, his colleagues tried to free him from underneath the panel, but despite local paramedics rushing to the scene, they could not save his life.
The tragic incident occurred in Ohlsdorf, a small village in Oberösterreich (Upper Austria), and police are investigating it as a workplace accident. According to their report, the Hungarian worker was attempting to tighten a moment clamp more firmly on a prefabricated concrete panel to correct the wall’s skewed alignment.
However, to reach his tool, he leaned a ladder against the unattached element and climbed onto it. At that point, the concrete panel shifted and fell on the 34-year-old man.
Firefighters and his colleagues extracted him from under the panel, but paramedics could only confirm his death.
