Truck accident on the A1: 26 tons of sunflower oil and strong traffic jam!

On Saturday morning, a serious accident occurred on the A1 in Lower Austria when a truck tipped over. The tractor -trailer was loaded with 26 tons of sunflower oil. Fortunately, the trailer remained on the concrete control wall, which prevented one overturning onto the other road. According to information from Krone , the emergency services did not have to pump the sunflower oil, and during the rescue work there was considerable traffic disruptions on the busy route between Amstetten Ost and West. The road users were faced with long traffic jams.

The fire brigades St. Georgen/Ybbsfelde and Amstetten were on site with a total of 25 emergency services and seven vehicles.

The damaged truck was then carefully brought to a suitable parking space at walking speed. This was further proof of how important an effective emergency reaction is in order to quickly defuse such critical situations.
