There was an alarm on Friday in the Waldviertel Braustadt Weitra in Lower Austria. There came a tank train from the street, fell on the side and Leck hit – 24,000 liters of diesel fuel threatened to contaminate the ground at the most. The fire brigades were also warned to save people.
It is still unclear why the tank trolley of the street in the city of Weitra came to the Gmünd district in the Gmünd district. Four fire brigades and special troops from Florianis quickly left the traffic accident with human rescue with 70 members.
Truck drivers taken to the hospital
During the trip the driver was able to free himself from the truck. He was first cared for by the salvation and taken to the hospital. Due to the accident, the tank train hit the side with 24,000 liters of diesel and leaked. The polluting group of the Section Fire Brigade Command had to act quickly.
“The accident leaked a cathedral lid of the trailer, after which the invited diesel fuel was released. The leak was made up by us and built fire protection. To save the vehicle, the operating company asked for a mountain that still arrived at night, “explained spokesperson for Fire Brigade Dominik Krenn.
Three special berosing vehicles in use
The tractor trailer with the 24,000 liters of diesel was built and towed on board with three special mining vehicles. The Water Rights Authority was also present during the operation. “It now clarifies whether further steps are needed,” says the fire brigade.
Due to the rapid and professional use, only a small amount of contaminating substance should have escaped, which could prevent large environmental pollution.
