Collapsed lifting platform work platform in Ohligs: Two workers sustain severe injuries
Revised Article:
On a grim Thursday morning, clocking in at 7:42 AM, the hoot of sirens echoed through the Ohligs district as the local fire department responded to an industrial mishap. The scene of the calamity unfolded at the corner of Wilhelmstraße and Keldersstraße, where a work platform precariously perched atop a cherry picker had plummeted from a formidable height, crashing onto the sidewalk.
The catastrophe left two employees of a cleaning company, horribly injured, as per the reports from the fire department. Medics and emergency services swiftly leaped into action, administering first aid and stabilizing these two individuals for transport. Two urgent care doctors and hydraulic rescue equipment were enlisted to aid in their rescue.
The gravity of the situation mandated a rescue helicopter, which touched down on the Oberen Hildener Straße to ferry one of the traumatized patients to a specialized clinic. Unfortunately, this course of action proved unfeasible medically. Both patients were ultimately transported to the Klinikum Solingen.
With the help of the fire crane, the wreckage of the crashed cherry picker was retrieved. The deformed, telescopic boom of the cherry picker was painstakingly secured to the fire crane. A specialist from a cherry picker maintenance company was brought in to assist in retracting and temporarily securing the damaged boom.
The fire department's operation concluded, and they handed over the scene to the local police, who arranged for the flawed cherry picker to be towed away.
During this hectic time, volunteer firefighters from LE 1 Merscheid/Ohligs and LE 6 Gräfrath manned the fire and rescue stations II and III of the professional fire department. Meanwhile, they were alerted to three parallel emergencies:
- A blazing inferno set off by a fire alarm system
- A distress call for life-saving measures (CPR)
- A chaotic traffic collision on the A3 motorway
