Two accidents at once
Shock during road construction: truck falls over steep slope
Two truck accidents occurred almost simultaneously on Monday afternoon during road construction work in the Tyrolean Zillertal. In one case, a heavy vehicle crashed off the road over an embankment. According to the police, three people were injured.
Police and rescue services had a lot to do in the area of the Zillertal Arena ski resort on Monday afternoon. Road construction work is currently being carried out in several places between Hainzenberg and Rohrberg. This is where the accidents happened.
Shortly after 3 p.m., the alarm was raised because a truck had overturned near Rohrberg due to a tire blowout. A work colleague rescued the injured driver (56) and brought him down into the valley. The professional driver was taken to Schwaz Hospital by ambulance.
Holidaymaker as first aider
Shortly before 3 p.m., another truck accident occurred on a forest road near Hainzenberg. Because part of the path broke away, a truck fell five meters down a steep embankment. A holidaymaker (46) saw the accident and came to the driver's aid. While trying to free the truck driver (70) from the driver's cab, the first aider injured himself.
The Zell mountain rescue team and the team from an emergency helicopter came to the aid of the two men. The injured men were also flown to the Schwaz hospital.
