Truck accident in Globasnitz: Drivers seriously injured in the forest

A serious accident occurred on Monday at 12.45 p.m. in the municipal area of ​​Globasnitz, district of Völkermarkt. A 36-year-old truck driver was traveling on a forest road towards Luscha Landesstraße (L130) during wood transport work when he came off the street on a straight section and plunged over a steep slope. The truck remained about 40 meters below the forest road, which illustrates the dramatic location of the driver. According to orf.at , the driver managed to free himself from the driver's cab and crawl through the forest for a few hundred meters until he met his colleagues.

The alarmed colleagues reacted quickly and called the rescue. The injured was brought into the valley after the first aid on site and then transported to the UKH Klagenfurt with the rescue helicopter C 11. The Globasnitz volunteer fire brigade secured the crashed truck and prevented further dangerous environmental damage from the tying of the leaked fuel.
