Spectacular accident
Truck tractor overturned while being towed on the A1
Wow! A towing maneuver of a truck tractor failed spectacularly on the A1 Westautobahn near Pucking on Thursday evening. The towing truck crashed over an embankment.
The accident happened at around 7.30 p.m. on Thursday evening on the Westautobahn in the direction of Vienna in the municipality of Pucking. A defective tractor unit was being towed there by a truck tractor using a tow bar.
A 54-year-old man from Linz and a 40-year-old man from the Linz-Land district carried out the towing operation. In the area of the so-called "Puckinger Berg", the combination had an accident, causing the towing tractor unit to leave the road, turn and overturn on the highway embankment.
The two occupants were able to climb out of the driver's cab before the fire department arrived. For around half an hour, only one lane of the A1 Westautobahn in the direction of Vienna was passable in the area of the accident between the Allhaming slip road and the Haid junction, and the right-hand lane was closed for around two hours.
