Drama on the A10: Ignited truck and ensures hours of blocking!

In the early morning hours of February 22, 2025, on the A10 Tauernautobahn there was a dramatic incident shortly before the Kroislerwand tunnel, which affected two truck drivers. First, a 22-year-old truck driver from Turkey, which was loaded with ceramics and plastic parts, touched a parked truck from ASFINAG that served to secure construction site. The impact caused his vehicle to stand up in the middle of the middle and the driver was trapped in his driver's cab, such as reported.

dramatic scenes took place when other road users tried to free the trapped driver from the predicament. The alarmed fire brigades from St. Peter/Spittal, Töplitsch and Feistritz/Drau quickly came to the scene of the accident. In the meantime, another incident had already occurred: the heavy vehicle of the Turkish driver had previously caught fire due to a tire space. The driver, who had continued with his truck about one kilometer after the tire pitcher, was just able to save himself on the breakdown strips in time before the vehicle went into full fire, such as kaernten.orf confirmed.
