Spectacular accident Tuesday morning in the Tyrolean lowlands: on the B178 Loferer Straße near Waidring (Kitzbühel district), a timber truck overturned and blocked the road. The cleanup took hours. The 21-year-old truck driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
The 21-year-old driver of the timber transporter was driving on Loferer Straße around 6:30 am when the semi-trailer, weighing about 15 tons, suddenly started to swing at Waidring. The driver tried to intercept the trailer, but without success,” said the director. The team fell over. Luckily in disguise: there was no oncoming traffic at the time.
The road was blocked by the truck lying on its side and the lost cargo. Due to the clean-up work, the B178 had to be closed for several hours.
Driver with rescue to hospital
“The slightly injured driver was taken by the rescue service to the district hospital in St. Johann in Tyrol,” said a police officer at the request of “Krone”. The extent of the damage caused cannot yet be quantified.
