VIENNA, AUSTRIA - A 36-year-old Bosnian escaped from an Austrian prison by getting himself shrink-wrapped with some parts for street lamps made by inmates and trucked out, the mass-circulation Kronen daily said today. The man, named as Muradif H, had been serving a seven-year term for burglary in the southern provincial city of Graz and was due for release in 2012. Kronen said Muradif, who had a prison job making parts for street lamps, had himself wrapped in plastic with finished parts on a pallet and loaded into a truck. Ten minutes after leaving the prison, the truck driver said he noticed a rip in the tarpaulin covering the pallets and stopped to check. “Just at this moment I got a call on my mobile phone from the prison: 'Did you notice anything? We are missing an inmate',” the truck driver was quoted as saying on Kronen's website. Austrian police were searching for the escapee. |

Our truck accident lawyers have seen many causes of these accidents. They can often include an improper lane change, incorrect stopping distance, defective equipment, an inexperienced driver, an unqualified driver and road defects. Our team of trucking accident attorneys will investigate your accident with the help of experts to determine the most likely cause of your 18 wheeler accident. While you wait for the conclusion of your truck accident claim, your Waco truck accident attorney can work around the clock to address issues such as medical bills, calls from creditors, communications from insurance companies, and legal fees. Semi truck owners are required to carry more extensive insurance coverage, the trucks are subject to a strictly controlled maintenance schedule, and drivers are required to track and limit their time on the road. But many trucking companies pressure their drivers to drive without sleep to get to their destination. This creates fatigue for the truck driver.
