Man Run Over by Own Car While De-Icing on Steep Road in Upper Bavaria

Investigators have not yet clarified the exact sequence of events.

Overview

  • The 48-year-old was found trapped under his Peugeot on Seelauerweg in Schneizlreuth around 7 a.m. Thursday.
  • Officials said the vehicle likely rolled downhill on the icy gradient as he scraped the windshield with the engine running.
  • Firefighters secured the car with a winch to prevent further movement and lifted it with rescue cushions to free him.
  • He was severely injured and hypothermic but responsive, then transported to Klinikum Traunstein after on-scene care.
  • A female acquaintance called the emergency services after he phoned her, the rescue took about an hour, and police reported no damage to the car.
