Truck drivers lament that business representatives often don’t think about the safety of snowy and slippery slopes when stuck in the winter.
Many companies have warehouses in the old base of operations on the outskirts of Panevėžys. The chargers load and unload a wide range of cargo, one after another, on a daily basis. The accident occurred in a closed warehouse. In the morning, the police received a call that a man was trapped between heavy vehicles.
“The truck was stuck in the snow and another truck came to help him, trying to get him out. At that moment, the car crushed the man,” says a police representative Tadas Martinaitis.
When the police arrived, the 59-year-old was already dead. It turned out that a tragic accident occurred when the Iveco Daily truck was parked without the parking brake applied. When the car suddenly started backing up, it collided with a heavy truck, the Daf, got stuck in the snow and crushed a man who was between them. The driver of the Iveco Daily died immediately.
A pretrial investigation has been launched into the traffic accident. A tragic disaster shocked the other drivers.
“Maybe he brought someone, some kind of chains, and he accidentally drove and got crushed,” predicts carrier Alfons.
Heavy truck drivers regret that in the winter, the companies to which the goods are delivered or transported forget to take care of the safety of snow-covered, often icy sites. Supposedly there could be at least one bucket of gravel.
“Nobody cleans the roads in Lithuania, it’s scary. I drive in Latvia, the roads are the best right away. Here it is slippery, when the cold started, the snow, it is constantly slippery, slippery,” says Alfonsas.
It turns out that a 55-year-old truck driver who saw the disaster with his own eyes was tortured overnight in a snowy parking lot. And only in the morning he received the help of an acquaintance who agreed.
Sunerimę and employees of the State Labor Inspectorate. In January alone, four tragic incidents have already been recorded in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda and Šiauliai. Although fewer construction deaths have been recorded during this quarantine, there has been an increase in disasters occurring in the countryside and in forests.
“Compared to 2019 and 2020, the number of minor and accidental accidents has decreased, perhaps due to the fact that many employees work remotely. However, the number of deaths and accidents has increased,” says labor inspector Vaidas Pauliukas.
The fact that Lithuanians still do not pay attention to safety at work and do not save their lives can be seen in the image captured by Vilnius residents: men climbing on the roof of an apartment building, clearing the snow and one clinging without fear of the balcony ceiling without harnesses. Showing such courage with just your hair doesn’t end in disgrace.
