Elaborate operation
Tractor and excavator crashed 100 meters
A complex rescue operation in St. Johann in Salzburg: a tractor fell around a hundred meters in the area of the Straßalmbahn on Monday. Nobody was injured.
The tractor-trailer combination had just been transporting a nine-ton excavator. Near the Straßalm at around 1530 meters above sea level, it suddenly started moving on Monday afternoon, crashed over steep terrain and came to rest on its roof.
Witness raised the alarm
A visitor to the Geisterberg had witnessed the crash and immediately raised the alarm.
The salvage operation was complex: The excavator and tractor had to be pulled out of the swampy terrain with the help of cable winches. According to the fire department, there was no fuel spillage.
The tractor was properly parked. It is still unclear why it suddenly started rolling. The material damage is likely to be considerable.
