VN24 - 17.02.2022 - Holzwickede / Germany - Gone with the wind...On the much too narrow main access road to a large industrial area with a steel plant, a semitrailer came off the paved tar surface with its wheels slightly on the shoulder and immediately sank so deep that it was impossible to get back on the road surface. On the much too narrow main access road to a large industrial area with a steel plant, a semitrailer came off the paved tar surface with its wheels slightly on the shoulder and immediately sank so deep that it was impossible to get back on the road surface. The special trailer loaded with a 22-ton steel coil and the tractor sank further into the soft ground and eventually threatened to tip over. With the help of a mobile crane, which stabilized the truck during salvage, it was possible for a tow truck to safely pull the vehicle back onto the road. The chains that secured the neatly fastened steel roller in its trough held. In the end, the truck was able to continue its journey under its own power. According to the driver, he had already had to drive his truck very far to the right because of an oncoming tractor-trailer. A gust of wind from the storm prevailing that day caught his tractor-trailer and pushed it even further toward the ditch.
