There were probably thousands of guardian angels on board: In a rear-end collision involving two trucks on Monday morning in Tyrol’s Going am Wilden Kaiser (Kitzbühel district), a huge mast punched through the windshield of the rear truck. The driver probably narrowly avoided a tragedy.
The terrible accident happened on Monday morning around 8 a.m.: A 47-year-old truck driver from Salzburg was driving on the B178 Loferer Straße near Going and may have overlooked that a colleague in front of him had to slow down his truck in the morning. a convoy of traffic.
Mast with a long steel point at the end
A rear-end collision occurred, which almost ended in catastrophe. The truck at the front carried a huge mast that extended over the cargo area and ended with a longer steel spike.
The wheel escaped with minor injuries
The mast dug into the cabin – on the driver’s side! The steel tip probably missed the 47 year old handlebar by a hair’s breadth. “The driver was not hit. However, he was slightly injured as a result of the rear-end collision. He was taken to hospital by ambulance, but was already able to leave,” said a police spokesperson when asked by “Krone”.
Was the load correctly labelled?
This accident was a huge stroke of luck. The photos show part of the windshield hanging from the steel pin. There were mutual stops and obstacles in the vicinity of the accident location. It is now determined whether the cargo has been transported and marked correctly.
