Explosion in Garage: Mann (53) schwer verletzt

In Markersdorf nahe Neulengbach im Bezirk St. Pölten (Niederösterreich) wurde ein Mann bei einer Explosion in einer Garage schwer verletzt. Mit dem Notarzthubschrauber wurde er ins Wiener AKH geflogen.

Ein Mann arbeitete Mittwochabend an einem Geländewagen in einer Garage, als es plötzlich zu einer Explosion kam. Der Mann hatte laut Polizeiangaben in einer Montagegrube mit einem Winkelschleifer hantiert. Dabei dürfte sich durch Funkenflug in einem Fass befindliches Benzin-Öl-Gemisch entzündet und eine explosionsartige Stichflamme gebildet haben.

Nach ersten Informationen konnte der 53-Jährige das Feuer selbst löschen und die Garage verlassen. Vor dem Unfallort dürfte der Mann jedoch schwer verletzt liegen geblieben sein.

Mit Heli ins Spital geflogen

Die alarmierten Einsatzkräfte leisteten vor Ort erste Hilfe und kämpften um das Leben des Mannes, der bei der Explosion Verbrennungen erlitt. Ein Notarzthubschrauber flog den Schwerverletzten in das Wiener AKH.

Die örtliche Feuerwehr führte eine gründliche Nachkontrolle des Brandraums durch, um eventuelle weitere Gefahren auszuschließen. Wie es zu der Explosion kam, ist noch Teil der Ermittlungen.
