Truck wheels came off: was it sabotage?
Shocking experience for a truck driver and a car driver on Monday afternoon in Pflach in the Tyrolean Außerfern. Twin wheels came loose on the heavy goods vehicle while driving, causing an accident. The police must now clarify whether sabotage was involved.
At around 3.30 p.m. on Monday, a 53-year-old man was driving a company truck on the state road 69 in Pflach. Suddenly, the left rear twin wheels on the vehicle came off. "They crashed into an oncoming car," said the police.
Vehicle badly damaged
The driver - also a 53-year-old - was lucky. He was uninjured in the accident. However, his car was badly damaged. The police have started an investigation. The central question is: Why did the twin wheels come off? Was it a fatal defect or did someone help? Three of the loosened wheel nuts were recovered at the scene of the accident.
