Accident drama in Tyrol
Crashed through crash barrier: Truck crashes into the Inn!
Tragic accident early Friday afternoon in the Tyrolean lowlands: a truck broke through the crash barrier on the Inntal highway near Wattens (Innsbruck-Land district) and plunged into the adjacent Inn river. Unfortunately, all help came too late for the driver, as the police confirmed to "Krone".
The accident happened shortly after 1 p.m. - about one kilometer before the Wattens exit in the direction of Innsbruck.
Truck came to rest on its side in the Inn
As the police explained when asked by "Krone", the truck had broken through the crash barrier for unknown reasons. The truck then crashed into the adjacent Inn river, where it came to a standstill lying on its side in the water.
Major operation and closure
A large-scale operation was the result. The fire department, police, ambulance service, emergency doctor and water rescue team were all on the scene. The Inntal freeway had to be completely closed for a short time. At least one lane was open again at around 2 pm. Trucks were still stopped.
Unfortunately, all help came too late for the truck driver - a 47-year-old Austrian. He died at the scene of the accident, according to the police.
