Difficult recovery
55-year-old had an accident when his truck crashed
Unfortunately, it was no longer possible to rescue a 55-year-old man from Gmunden on Friday: the truck driver and his heavy vehicle left a forest road in his home town and fell around 20 meters down a slope. A cyclist discovered the terrible accident.
The 55-year-old was driving his truck from Gmunden on Laudachseestraße towards Grünbergwirt on Friday morning. At around 7 a.m., he hit the verge with his truck on the forest road. It is not yet clear why.
According to the police, the truck driver then slid down the slope and overturned on the embankment. The vehicle came to a halt by a tree around 20 meters below the road.
Cyclist discovers accident
A passing cyclist discovered the tragic accident and immediately called the emergency services. But despite attempts at resuscitation, the emergency doctor was unfortunately only able to determine that the Gmund man had died.
The recovery of the truck proved difficult on Friday morning. A heavy-duty crane had to be called in to assist in the rough terrain.
