The retaining wall, directly situated at the edge of the roadway to prevent landslides, had yielded to the pressure of the ground and was thrown with full force on the straight passing truck - the driver was killed. The truck was completely crushed.
Poor chap. F… all left of the Scania!
Meltwater triggers a landslide, the earth tilts a concrete wall, the wall falls on a truck: its driver dies in a spectacular accident on the Brenner motorway.
Vienna (dpa) - A concrete wall topples over a Munich truck smashed on the Brenner motorway in Austria. The driver was killed in the accident on Tuesday morning, as the leader of the Tyrolean traffic police, Mark Widmann, dpa said. The origin of the driver’m not yet certain.
A landslide pushed the number of meters high retaining wall on the right side of the highway to Italy to clock at 5.15. This was caused by melting water, said the government of the Austrian motorway operator, with Asfinag.
Tons heavy concrete blocks fell on the highway and the passing trucks. The cab had been compressed by the weight of the wall to a height of 1.5 meters, said Widmann.
Heavy cranes lifted mountains in the morning, the concrete slabs from the wrecked truck. The body of the trapped driver was rescued. The work should last until the afternoon.
What the truck transporting cargo and freight forwarding to which he belonged was in Munich, the Tyrolean police say. The accident happened south of Innsbruck between the Stubai Valley and the Schönberg toll station. The highway had to be closed temporarily.
