Overview
- Police say a 36-year-old and a 40-year-old left an outdoor gathering late Saturday and fell down a steep bank at a lakeside near the L3072 by Homberg (Ohm).
- Firefighters, emergency medical teams, and police mounted a coordinated operation that included both a rescue helicopter and a police helicopter.
- One casualty was positioned so awkwardly that crews used an inflatable boat to recover him at the shoreline, according to police.
- The two injured men were transported to medical facilities, with one airlifted to a clinic and the other taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital.
- Extensive searches, concluded around 12:30 a.m., found no other attendees at risk, and police say the cause of the falls remains under investigation.
