Erlangen-Höchstadt: calls for help from a cyclist-nine hours of fear!
A dramatic incident recently occurred in the Erlangen-Höchstadt district: A 74-year-old cyclist fell on a land consolidation between Simmersdorf and Wachenroth on Thursday at around 4 p.m. The man could no longer upset himself and was dependent on help. However, his desperate calls for help remained unheard of for a long time. It was only at 11:30 p.m. that a couple from Horbach, about 700 meters away, became aware of the calls and informed the police. This then started a comprehensive search campaign, which, among other things, started a helicopter to find the accident. Ultimately, the emergency services managed to locate him and take him to a hospital where he was treated. As reports nn.de, this incident is an impressive example of the urgency and need for effective rescue measures.
