Crane truck caught in circuit at toll station
Accident at the new Gleinalm toll station: On Thursday night, an 88-ton crane truck got caught in the circuit of a high-voltage line. The driver was uninjured.
During the night from Thursday to Friday, between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m., work was planned at the Gleinalm toll station. As part of the preparations, a five-axle crane truck was brought into position in the construction site area.
The driver of the over 500 hp machine drove under a high-voltage line with the crane's extended arm. Although there was no contact, an electric arc was formed - the energy released caused three wheels of the vehicle to catch fire, but extinguish themselves.
Power switched off, highway closed
An emergency shutdown of the power grid was initiated immediately, but the fire and rescue services were only able to approach the vehicle after a technician from Energie Steiermark had given the go-ahead. The driver of the crane truck was not injured in the incident.
100 meters of the power line were replaced immediately, and the freeway was closed for several hours by the police and Asfinag for the duration of the operation.
