you are right. it was a Dutch truck belonging to a company transporting living animals (Johan van Schipstal, in B.V. Sint Hubert, Netherlands). the truck was empty.

the accident caused a damage of almost half a million Swiss Francs, there were more than 60 policemen, firefighters, a helicopter and special equipment and experts busy with the rescuing of the trailer out of the steep shore of the Vierwaldstättersee.
