Emergency call - Woman stuck in snow with wheelchair: fire department operation
A woman got stuck in the snow in Munich's Olympic Park in her electric wheelchair and was eventually pulled home by the fire department. She had driven through the park on Tuesday night because public transport would not have arrived in time, as the fire department reported. When the vehicle could not be moved in either forward or reverse gear, she called the emergency services. The emergency services then escorted the woman out of the park. When the battery also gave out, firefighters harnessed themselves to the wheelchair and pulled the woman to her nearby residential facility.
