Aletshausen (dpa / lby) – In an accident in Swabia, two construction workers were seriously injured – one of them with an excavator shovel. As a police spokesman reported on Thursday, a truck crashed into an excavator at a construction site on a federal road near Aletshausen (Günzburg district) on Wednesday. The excavator shovel that was thrown away hit a 38-year-old construction worker. The 25-year-old excavator driver recognized the danger early enough and jumped out of the vehicle before the collision.
The excavator operator was probably injured when he jumped, it was said. He came to a hospital. The 38-year-old was flown to a hospital with serious injuries in a helicopter. It was unclear whether the 61-year-old truck driver was injured. He also went to a clinic.
