The West Motorway became the scene of a truck accident on Monday. The severely injured driver was taken to the hospital.
Fuel Leaked
"The tractor unit was massively damaged and severely deformed in the accident," Gutlederer stated. The crash occurred on Monday around 7:30 PM. The Amstetten Volunteer Fire Department deployed with the crane vehicle to support the locally responsible fire departments of St. Valentin and Enns. The recovery of the semi-trailer loaded with goods for a supermarket lasted until Tuesday morning. Large quantities of leaked fuel complicated the operation, and extensive safety and cleaning measures were necessary.
