Passenger is dead
Serious truck accident has now claimed a life
The emergency services had a bad feeling right from the start, as things were looking bad for a Slovakian who was seriously injured in a truck accident in Antiesenhofen (Upper Austria) almost a week ago. Now the fears have come true, the co-driver died in hospital.
The seriously injured co-driver was rescued by the fire department during the accident and was taken to Passau Hospital. There, the doctors had to give up the fight for the 45-year-old's life.
It happened on September 18 in Antiesenhofen: At 6.34 a.m., a 37-year-old Slovakian was driving his articulated truck on the Innkreisautobahn A8, municipal area of Antiesenhofen, in the direction of Suben, when he veered off the road to the right and drove about 50 meters on the grass verge. He then drove further to the right onto the embankment, causing the articulated vehicle to overturn to the left.
The 45-year-old Slovakian co-driver became trapped between the steering wheel and the windshield and was seriously injured. The 37-year-old driver was seriously injured in the accident. The Ort im Innkreis and Antiesenhofen volunteer fire departments carried out the rescue of the two injured persons. The 37-year-old was taken to Ried hospital by ambulance. The co-driver was flown to the hospital in Passau by emergency helicopter. The highway was closed for around three hours.
