Tractor combination accident in Lambach: rescue on Salzburger Straße difficult
On Wednesday afternoon there was an incident involving a tractor trailer in Lambach, in the Wels-Land district. A tractor had an accident on Salzburger Straße, although the exact cause is still unclear. The incident required a complex rescue as the vehicle first had to be righted by the fire department using a winch.
Despite the difficult rescue, there have been no reports of injuries so far. The road authorities closed Salzburger Straße for around an hour and a half to enable rescue work. Diversions have been put in place along side roads to manage traffic during the closure.
Rescue measures and traffic restrictions
Carrying out the rescue operations was a challenge. The fire department was on site to ensure that everything was carried out properly and safely. A tractor combination is usually not easy to move due to its weight and size, which further complicated the situation.
The closure of Salzburger Straße caused traffic disruptions in the area. Drivers and residents had to adapt to the detour, which took them along less busy side roads. This may have temporarily resulted in longer travel times for commuters in the area, but the safety of the recovery operation was a priority.
Overall, the rescue operation went without any significant incidents and local authorities are working to reopen the road to traffic as quickly as possible. The fire brigade and technical services made a significant contribution to ensuring that no one was injured.
