Ore Mountains district - Excavator crashes into railroad bridge during transport: extensive damage
An excavator being transported on a truck crashed into a railroad bridge in Pockau-Lengefeld (Erzgebirgskreis), causing considerable damage. The 47-year-old truck driver apparently did not pay attention to the clearance height on Wednesday afternoon, as the police reported on Thursday. The result was a collision in which the excavator was partially pushed off the loading area of the articulated truck.
According to the police, the truck was damaged as well as the bridge and the excavator. The police put the damage at several hundred thousand euros. The bridge was closed to rail traffic for an indefinite period. Public transportation was not affected by the closure, said a police spokeswoman. The road was closed for hours after the accident. The truck driver was reportedly uninjured.
