Track closure
Excavator arm thundered against railroad bridge
An unusual crash occurred in Dornbirn on Wednesday: a truck driver wanted to drive under a railroad bridge. The truck was carrying an excavator. It collided with the lower edge of the bridge.
On Wednesday, a 37-year-old truck driver was traveling on the Dornbirn L 49 in the direction of Haselstauden with his vehicle loaded with an excavator. The permitted total height of four meters was exceeded.
As the truck drove under a railroad bridge, the excavator arm hit the lower edge of the bridge. The hydraulic hoses on the excavator were damaged and the leaking hydraulic oil contaminated the carriageway of the L49 in the area of the underpass.
One side of the road was closed for around 1.5 hours for the cleaning work. Due to the damage to the underpass, the railroad tracks were also temporarily closed to train traffic between Dornbirn and Wolfurt; fortunately, no one was injured.
