Heroic deed in Reisbach: First aiders free wheelchair users after an accident!

On June 18, 2025, around 4:35 p.m. on the DGF 19 district road near Reisbach, there was a remarkable incident. A 62-year-old driver of a small van tried to overtake a tractor, directed by a 54-year-old tractor driver, even though there was an overtaking ban. The tractor driver flashed into the decision to turn left, but the turning process had not yet started. Fortunately, there was no collision, but the driver of the van had to avoid to avoid an accident. This meant that he got off the road and came to a standstill in the ditch while the vehicle threatened to tip over. There was an 86-year-old wheelchair user in the van.

The worst could be prevented thanks to the quick intervention of first aiders, some of whom came with tractors. They saved the wheelchair user out of the vehicle and carried them safely outdoors. Afterwards it turned out that the senior citizen remained unharmed, which could be considered great happiness under the given circumstances. The property damage to the small van was limited, but the Dingolfing police immediately started the investigation into the course of the accident and checks the exact circumstances of the incident, such as [iDowa.de] (https://www.idowa.de/regions/dingolfing-landau/landkreis-dingolfing-landau/ersthelfer-rollstuhlfuhl driver-nach-unfahrbach-aus-auf-art-34224) reported.

The importance of first aid courses

In emergencies, seconds can be decisive and often pass until the emergency services arrive at least eight minutes. This shows how important it is to count on first aiders. First aid can not only save lives, it is also the duty of everyone. However, many people are unsettled and are afraid of doing something wrong in critical situations. That is why comprehensive first aid courses from providers such as the Johanniter are so important. In recent years, over 300,000 people have participated in these courses, and the offer is aimed at all age and professional groups. Children and adolescents are also specifically trained as first aiders.

The Johanniter offer a variety of courses that are aimed at private individuals, parents and driver's license applicants. Companies can also have their employees train as company first aiders. The brochure "Fit in first aid" serves as an important reminder support for what has been learned. For every fifth adult, the knowledge from the first aid course is more than five years ago, so a regular refreshment of the knowledge is absolutely advisable, such as [johanniter.de] (https://www.johanniter.de/dienste-leisten/ Medizinische-hilfe/erste-hilfe/).

diverse courses

The German Red Cross (DRK) also offers a wide range of first aid courses. These range from a one -day basic course for driver's license applicants to special advanced training for company first aiders. The red cross course for first aid usually takes a day and consists of nine teaching units. For certain target groups, such as people who have to do with children, adapted courses are offered. In addition, there is the "Heart Lung resuscitation" module, which is of central importance for many participants in order to be able to react quickly in emergency situations. The DRK has also developed special courses for young people so that they can become active helpers who can intervene in emergencies, as can be read on drk.de

The incident in Reisbach reminds us of how crucial good training can be in first aid - be it for everyday life or in dangerous situations. Everyone can make a contribution, becomes a heroine or hero of everyday life and should not be afraid to learn first aid. Because sometimes it is exactly this courage that saves life.
