Tank car accident in Penking: Oil strudel ensures hours of lock!

Penkinger Landesstraße, Österreich - A dramatic event occurred on the Penkinger state road when the trailer of a tanker tipped over and numerous liters of heating oil ran on the road. Four fire brigades, including the Hargelsberg volunteer fire brigade, were immediately deployed to bring the situation under control, such as 5min.at . Fortunately, there was no injuries in this incident, but the extent of the expiry of the heating oil presented the emergency services with major challenges because the vehicle was on the side and was able to leave more and more oil. The exact circumstances that led to overturn are currently still unclear and the investigation is running.

The fire brigade had to act quickly to bind and absorb the expiring heating oil. "This is difficult because the vehicle is on the side from which the oil escapes," explained fire brigade commander Harald Grobner. Fire protection was built up to minimize the risk of fire caused by heating oil. Grobner expressed itself optimistically: "Fortunately, we do not have to work with tools with a spark guide at the moment." In parallel to the cleanup work, work is being made to reorganize the trailer. In the meantime, Penkinger Straße remains closed for at least three to four hours, and a detour has been set up, such as reported.
