Drama in the saddle: tractor burns out – driver rescued!
On Tuesday, October 13th, there were several missions for the local fire department in Saxony-Anhalt, which were called upon to respond to a fire and a traffic accident. It all started with a fire in Wallwitz that broke out around 1 p.m. An 18-year-old tractor driver who was doing plowing work noticed a flash of flame coming from the engine compartment of his vehicle and was able to get out of the tractor in time. He immediately made an emergency call. Unfortunately, the tractor burned down completely, causing significant material damage of around 300,000 euros. The fire department was on site with 37 emergency services from Petersberg and Wettin-Löbejün, who quickly brought the fire under control. The investigation into the cause of the fire is currently underway sachsen-anhalt.de reported.
A few minutes later, at 1:40 p.m., a serious traffic accident occurred at an unguarded level crossing in Waiteweg in Langeneichstädt. A 74-year-old driver from the region came into contact with a train with his VW Caddy. The cause of the accident is still unclear, but the driver was trapped in the vehicle and had to be rescued by the fire department. Fortunately, the 15 passengers who were on the train were uninjured. The seriously injured driver was taken to hospital in Merseburg, fortunately his injuries are not life-threatening. The railway line was closed until 5:30 p.m. while police investigated the accident. A possible dangerous interference with rail traffic is also being investigated.
