In a parking lot in Tyrol
Load on truck caught fire – driver saved himself
A truck driver (26) reacted with presence of mind on Thursday on the Inntalautobahn in the direction of Kufstein: When he noticed that a fire had broken out on his trailer, he headed for an empty parking lot.
At around 4.33 p.m. on Thursday, a truck fire was reported in Jenbach near the local soccer pitch. On the scene, the police officers who arrived were able to identify an uncoupled semi-trailer (tipping semi-trailer) which was already fully engulfed in flames. The tractor unit was parked by the driver in a safe area.
It was ascertained that there was hazardous material (waste) in the semi-trailer and that it had started to burn for unknown reasons on the A12 near Stans in the direction of Kufstein.
The driver, a 26-year-old Austrian, noticed this early and drove off at the Jenbach highway exit, parked the burning semi-trailer on the empty soccer field parking lot in Jenbach and alerted the emergency services.
The Jenbach fire brigade was able to quickly bring the vehicle fire under control and extinguish it; nobody was injured. Four police patrols, five fire brigade vehicles with a total of 25 people from the Jenbach fire brigade and an ambulance were deployed.
