The police are still on duty at a spectacular traffic accident in the Tyrolean lowlands. A resident (59) had to drive back on Thierseestraße on Tuesday evening because of an unknown heavy vehicle, which ended fatally with a fall of 50 meters in the adjacent forest. The trapped injured person was able to contact the daughter via mobile phone. Police are still looking for the suspected Polish truck that caused the woman’s crash.
The dramatic incident occurred when the driver (59) of the small car drove into the valley at around 6:40 p.m.: A truck approached the woman in a right-hand curve, which swerved unusually far and apparently did not take into account oncoming traffic. traffic to her side. The driver responded: “To avoid a collision, she reversed the car and backed up a few feet,” police later determined. However, the car went over the edge of the road and fell about 50 meters over the steep forest terrain. The vehicle ended up on its roof and the woman was trapped.
The woman was able to call for help on her cell phone
Apparently, despite the injury, she was able to alert her daughter via cell phone, who called the police. Relatives then came to the crash site and were relieved given the circumstances that the injuries were not too bad. “We routinely rescued the woman with the stretcher in cooperation with the fire brigade,” says Gerhard Radlherr, local manager of the Kufstein mountain rescue service. The fire brigade was at the scene of the accident with three vehicles and 25 men, the rescue team with two cars and a total of nine helpers.
Meanwhile, the police are still looking for the unknown truck driver. “It must have been a Polish or Romanian truck. According to witnesses, the driver stopped under the scene of the accident and turned on the hazard lights. Then he drove on,” said an officer. It’s hard to imagine he hadn’t noticed the crash.
