Driver trapped
Tractor with slurry tanker skidded and overturned
A serious work accident occurred on a mountain meadow in Ellmau in Tyrol on Thursday morning. A tractor and trailer skidded and overturned. The driver (52) was trapped under the driver's cab in the accident.
At around 9.30 a.m., the 52-year-old was busy spreading liquid manure on a field below the Weißachgraben in Ellmau. "For unknown reasons, the tractor and slurry tanker started to slide," is how the police describe the accident.
First slid 50 meters across a meadow
The tractor and trailer, which weighed several tons, slid 50 meters across the mountain meadow and finally got stuck in a concrete gully. This caused the tractor and trailer to tip over and overturn. The 52-year-old was trapped under the driver's cab in the area of his legs.
A cyclist noticed the accident. He rushed to help the 52-year-old and immediately made an emergency call. The severely injured tractor driver had to be freed with the help of heavy rescue equipment. He was flown to hospital in Salzburg. The tractor and trailer sustained considerable damage.
