Truck overturns at landfill site: Driver (61) trapped
An articulated truck overturned at a landfill site in Mürzzuschlag in Upper Styria on Wednesday: The 61-year-old driver was trapped and had to be rescued via the windshield.
The articulated lorry was being driven by a 61-year-old from the Hartberg-Fürstenfeld district: the man was in the process of tipping rubble at an elevated landfill site at around 8.30 a.m. when the three left-hand wheels sank in and slipped away.
The semitrailer's center of gravity shifted to the left, it tipped over and came to rest on its side. The driver was seriously injured in the accident and was unable to free himself from the cab.
Rescue stabilized the injured man
The Mürzzuschlag fire department arrived with 16 members: They removed the windshield of the truck with a sabre saw. The injured man was then stabilized by the Red Cross and finally rescued with the help of a spin board. The man from Eastern Styria was taken to the regional hospital in Bruck.
