On the West Motorway (A1) in Lower Austria, an accident involving a truck occurred on Saturday. This truck was carrying tons of sunflower oil, and traffic jams were inevitable during the recovery operations.
A truck loaded with 26 tons of sunflower oil overturned on Saturday morning on the West Motorway (A1) near St. Georgen am Ybbsfelde (Amstetten district). According to the district fire department command, the recovery was challenging because the trailer remained on the central barrier, but the sunflower oil did not need to be pumped out. During the recovery operations, there was significant traffic congestion on the A1 between Amstetten East and West in the direction of Salzburg.
Accident on A1 Without Injuries
The damaged truck was escorted by the fire departments at walking speed to a parking area, according to a press release. No one was injured in the accident.
