Waldshut-Tiengen: Witness saves drowning by risking his own life

Freiburg (ots) –

An outstanding rescue operation took place on Saturday, August 19th. around 1:03 p.m. in the Kadelburger-Lauffen/Ettikon area.

A 57-year-old truck driver went with other colleagues to swim on the German bank of the Rhine despite the signposted ban on bathing. He initially went into the water alone when he apparently got caught in a whirlpool and screamed for help. The current was so strong at the spot that he was pulled under water.

A 53-year-old passing witness noticed the cries for help and reacted in a more than exemplary manner. Risking his own life, he jumped into the water and was able to bring the drowning man to the safe shore.

The 57-year-old was already unconscious, which is why resuscitation measures were initiated immediately, which the rescue service was able to continue.

The 57-year-old was flown to the hospital in Zurich by rescue helicopter from Switzerland, where he received further treatment. He is now out of danger.

At this point, we expressly point out once again not to underestimate the dangers of flowing waters, especially the Rhine, and to look for safe bathing spots to cool off!

The police expressly thank the courageous witness for his courageous, selfless behavior, who was able to save another life at the risk of his own life.
