Hit in the head – two injured in a rock fall in the Twimberger Graben

A boulder thundered onto the asphalt on Packer Straße near the Twimberger Graben in Carinthia. Two workers who were busy with slope stabilization work were injured – one of them seriously in the head. More stone chips are inevitable.

A current closure on Packer Straße affects the Twimberger Graben. A large boulder has come loose and thundered onto the road. Serious head injuries The rockfall occurred during slope stabilization work. A worker suffered serious head injuries. Like him, a colleague from work was taken to the LKH Wolfsberg by the rescue team with minor head injuries. More rockfalls inevitableBecause more rocks could come loose at any moment, the state has commissioned a special company to now secure the slope in the long term. A state geologist is to take a look at the situation on site around noon. However, it is unclear how long the total closure will last. Alternative options for trucks and cars have been set up locally and on a large scale via the A2.
