A total of four vehicles and 21 emergency personnel from the Wiener Neudorf Fire Brigade were deployed.

The driver, who was still stuck in the driver's cabin, was already receiving emergency medical care from the Red Cross.

Truck Driver Freed from Lorry After Serious Accident

The emergency services worked closely with the rescue service to remove the windshield and quickly and carefully extract the injured driver from the car. At the same time, they established double fire protection and secured the accident site.

After the injured person was initially cared for, the recovery operation of the crashed vehicle was organised in accordance with the motorway master of ASFINAG. Due to leaking operating materials and the difficult position of the truck, it was decided to carry out the recovery with the help of the crane truck of the Lower Austria Fire Brigade Association (stationed at the Mödling Fire Brigade) and a private towing service. The deputy commander and incident commander, Martin Billensteiner, called the special vehicle of the Mödling Fire Brigade for support. In order to affect traffic as little as possible, the response teams simultaneously started emptying the drainage concrete and removing the propeller shaft. The execution of these activities was supported by a private company.

After the completion of the preparatory work, the rescue operation started. The team of the Mödling Fire Brigade put the truck back on the road with the crane and then straightened it up again. As usual, the Mödling Fire Brigade team received strong support from the Wiener Neudorf Fire Brigade. The transport of the heavy vehicle was carried out by a private company. Thanks to the professional cooperation of all participants, it was possible to effectively manage the operation. The Wiener Neudorf Volunteer Fire Brigade expresses its gratitude to all response groups and assisting companies for the excellent cooperation.
