Serious violations of beef transport: truck stopped in Kundl

Serious violations of beef transport: truck stopped in Kundl

on September 30, 2024, around 7:45 p.m., there was an incident on Tyrolean Straße (B 171) in the Kundl municipal area, in which the police stopped a 42-year-old man from Poland. This was traveling with a truck that was loaded with 30 beef bulls. The animals were originally supposed to be transported from the Czech Republic to Italy. When checking the PI Kramsach's police patrol, it was found that there was an existing driving ban for the driver.

In order to carry out a more precise check, the truck was moved to the Radfeld control point on the A 12. There it was found that the driver had apparently intentionally bypassed the regular checkpoint. The control resulted in an overload of a whopping 8,400 kilograms, which corresponds to an overload of 21%. In addition, the truck exceeded the permitted maximum height restriction by 21 cm, which the responsible authorities were alerted.

other violations determined

Apparently questionable violations regarding the driver's steering and rest periods were apparently evident in the evaluation of the traveler. These violations suggest that the driver has not taken into account the legal requirements, which could have serious consequences for security on the streets.

Another critical point of the control was the determination of the official veterinarian, who found that the stand height was not sufficient for the transported beef bulls. These defects could not only lead to injuries to the animals, but also represent a possible disease spread, which is why the authorities had to act quickly. In order to avert these dangers, the further journey of the truck was prohibited.

The police collected a security deposit both by the Polish driver and the transport company. The responsible authorities will now issue several ads to the Kufstein district administration in order to check and enforce the legal measures against the violations. This shows that the authorities will keep a waxing eye on road traffic safety and animal welfare in order to avoid such incidents in the future. The current controls also underline the importance of legal regulations for the transport of animals.

The strict controls are not only important for the safety of the vehicles, but also for the well -being of animals and the health of people. The transport of living animals is subject to strict regulations that should not only ensure security, but also humanitarian standards. The case in Kundl represents a serious warning that such laws should be taken seriously in order to prevent further incidents of this kind.
