Chaos on the A2: Mega Traffic Jam Due to Unsecured Beer Crates

A semi-trailer got into a threatening tilt on the Southern Motorway (A2) in Lower Austria on Friday afternoon because the beer crates loaded on it were inadequately secured. The fire departments of Wiener Neudorf, Brunn am Gebirge, and Vösendorf were deployed and helped to manually reload the tons of cargo, it was stated in a release on Saturday.

Hundreds of beer crates threatened to land on the A2: Fire department helped

The truck was traveling in the direction of Vienna. Only the truck tarpaulin still prevented the beer load from tipping onto the motorway. Due to the more than three-hour operation, there was significant traffic disruption and kilometers of traffic jams in the afternoon traffic. Incident commander Walter Wistermayer emphasized in the release: "Especially in heavy traffic, proper loading and securing are essential to avoid such dangerous situations."
