Off the road
Truck crashed over an embankment and overturned
The 53-year-old truck driver from Styria had a stroke of luck: after he and his articulated lorry overturned, he was able to free himself from the wreckage.
The wreckage of an articulated lorry has been visible next to the B92 Görtschitztal Bundesstraße since Wednesday evening. At around 5.40 p.m., a 53-year-old man from the Graz-Umgebung district was driving his truck and trailer in the direction of Wieting, St. Veit an der Glan district. "For currently unknown reasons, the towing vehicle ended up on the road shoulder on the right", according to the police. However, when the 53-year-old steered his articulated lorry back onto the road, the vehicle skidded: "This caused the articulated lorry to fall over an embankment to the left and leave the road. It overturned there," the police continued.
In the end, the articulated truck came to rest on its roof in a field. Fortunately, the 53-year-old driver was able to free himself from the vehicle and informed the emergency services. The vehicle could not yet be recovered. However, the Wieting fire department collected the spilled liquids from the truck.
