Too high
Ignorant truck driver causes mega traffic jam
Miles of traffic jams around Bregenz (Vorarlberg) were the result when a truck driver ignored the height control in front of the Pfänder Tunnel on Thursday morning. The truck damaged the lighting in the tunnel.
On Thursday morning, a 62-year-old German truck driver was driving on the A 14 Rhine Valley highway in Vorarlberg in the direction of Germany. Before the Pfänder Tunnel, the height control was triggered due to the excessive load of the articulated vehicle. Despite this, the driver drove into the Pfänder Tunnel.
It is not known what he was thinking, but it is clear that the truck damaged the overhead lighting and its bracket in the right-hand lane due to its height. The man only finally stopped his vehicle a hundred meters after entering the tunnel.
The Pfänder Tunnel was then closed to all traffic in the direction of Germany from 8 am to 9.45 am. As a result, there was a massive traffic jam on the Rhine Valley highway (in the direction of Germany) as far as the "Dornbirn West" slip road. There was also increased traffic and congestion in the surrounding communities, and many people were delayed on their way to work.
