A 63-year-old car driver was injured in an accident on the B76 in Wies in Styria on Monday morning. His vehicle got stuck between two bridges and therefore did not fall into the water below. The recovery of the vehicle was difficult.
The man (63) drove his car off the road on the B76 (Radlpass-Straße) in the direction of Wies (Styria) and crashed into a bridge railing. The vehicle got stuck between the road bridge and the pedestrian bridge – fortunately, one has to say, because otherwise it would have crashed into the Weiße Sulm. Nevertheless, the man was injured and had to be treated by the Red Cross. An oncoming car driver was very lucky and was able to avoid the accident vehicle that was driving across the oncoming lane. There were no other road users on the bridge at the time of the accident. Difficult recovery The emergency services took particular care during the subsequent vehicle recovery as it was a hybrid vehicle. In order to be able to recover the vehicle without damaging the batteries, a heavy rescue vehicle with a crane from the Eibiswald fire department was alerted. Traffic on the B76 had to be stopped alternately for the rescue and recovery work.
