A truck loaded with apples overturned on Saturday night on the Tyrolean Brenner Autobahn (A13) in Austria and caused a long traffic jam.
The highway had to be closed for hours.
For initially unknown reasons, the truck overturned around one o'clock in the morning in front of the Bergisel tunnel in Innsbruck.
He had loaded tons of apples that had to be manually transferred to another truck before the truck could be towed.
Therefore, the salvage dragged on.
The truck driver was slightly injured, the cause of the accident is not yet known.
The scene of the accident was cleared again in the morning, the police reported.
Because of the weekend traffic, the traffic volume was still increased in the morning.
