Fire department in action
Overturned truck in Flachau recovered during the night
The truck from Slovenia, which overturned on the Tauern highway near Flachauwinkl, was recovered on Monday evening. The Tauern highway had to be completely closed for five hours.
The recovery operation started after 8pm on Monday evening. A towing company recovered the truck-trailer combination with a heavy crane truck. The Flachau fire department was also involved: "Our job was to illuminate the scene of the accident," explains local fire brigade commander Christian Lackner.
Truck overturned near Flachauwinkl
As reported early on Monday morning, a truck driver from Slovenia had left the road with his articulated lorry on the Tauern freeway heading north near Flachauwinkl and ended up in the ditch.
The local fire department is often confronted with such incidents: "We had a similar case just three weeks ago," says the fire chief. Driver fatigue is often the cause.
The rescue operation took around three hours. Due to the total closure, a long traffic jam also formed in front of the south portal.
