Accident on the Arlberg
Driver jumped out as truck plummeted 60 meters
Luck and his quick reaction saved a truck driver from the worst in a crash on the Arlberg. The 60-meter crash therefore ended without serious consequences.
The local man (21) was reversing a truck along a forest road in St. Anton am Arlberg at around 10 a.m. on Tuesday to deliver something. In doing so, he drove too far to the right, which is why he subsequently crashed approx. 60 meters over a steep embankment and the vehicle overturned several times.
Successful jump from the cab
The 21-year-old was able to push himself out of the cab with his foot and jump out before coming to rest on the steep embankment next to the truck.
Reached the forest road by himself
The driver was able to walk back to the forest road on his own and only suffered a few abrasions all over his body. He then sought medical treatment on his own. The truck sustained considerable material damage.
