A dangerous incident occurred on Monday on the Arlberg Expressway in Tyrol. A truck driver (37) turned his vehicle around in the Strenger Tunnel and was driving the wrong way. An Asfinag employee prevented something worse from happening.
At around 12.45 the 37-year-old was driving his truck in the Strenger Tunnel towards Innsbruck. But the man actually had to go in the opposite direction. His navigation system therefore asked him to turn around. The man blindly obeyed and turned his heavy vehicle around in a niche in the tunnel. Driven 1.7 kilometers in the wrong direction. The tunnel surveillance quickly noticed that the truck driver was now driving the wrong way and raised the alarm. By chance, an employee of the Asfinag motorway company was nearby. He reacted immediately and was able to stop the truck driver after 1.7 kilometers of wrong-way driving. With a lot of luck, the 37-year-old’s action had no consequences for other road users. However, the ghost ride does have an impact on the man. The truck driver is shown.
