Lock defective
Beer truck loses its load in St. Johann
Beer fans had to be brave with these pictures from Salzburg: a truck loaded with hundreds of crates of beer lost its load in St. Johann im Pongau on Monday evening. Thousands of bottles were broken and the beer spilled onto the road.
The reason for the accident was probably a broken locking mechanism on the left-hand side of the vehicle. As a result, the load broke through the vehicle's load compartment in a bend and thundered onto the road.
The Pinzgau main road (B311) was closed to all traffic for 1.5 hours during the clean-up operation. The broken glass in particular had to be completely removed so as not to pose a risk to traffic.
The Sankt Johann volunteer fire department was deployed with 22 men and five vehicles.
The men's hard work will not go unrewarded: The Stiegl brewery wants to give the Floriani a beer to say thank you. A spokesperson for the brewery alluded to a similar incident that occurred in Zwettl, Lower Austria, at the beginning of the month.
Nobody was injured in either accident.
