Tractor accident in Maxfelde: power failure causes excitement!

An unpleasant incident caused confusion and anger on Friday evening in Maxfelde, a district of Malchin in the Mecklenburg Lake District. The residents had to do without electricity over a longer period of time, which often brings inevitable inconvenience. The reason for this failure was a tractor accident that took place in an agricultural area.

The accident occurred during the field work when a tractor was surprisingly directed by his driver against a current mast. The impact was so violent that the electricity mast kinked and landed directly on the tractor. Due to this dangerous situation, the rescue workers of the Stavenhagen volunteer fire brigade had to be active in order to bring the driver who was in the tractor cab.

The fire brigade was forced to switch off the electricity to work safely and avoid a risk to the driver and its own emergency services. Fortunately, it turned out that the 37-year-old driver of the tractor was unharmed. This is certainly a priority for the emergency services, even if the incident itself is unfortunate.

The police stated that the amount of property damage amounts to around 5,000 euros. This amount covers the damage to the tractor and the destroyed electricity mast. Power failures due to such accidents are not only annoying for the residents, but also bring financial burdens for energy suppliers and farms.

In the region, such incidents are not uncommon. Farmers who rely on heavy machines always have to make sure that they deal safely with their equipment in order to avoid accidents. The safety precautions when dealing with large machines and the infrastructures below are crucial to prevent comparable situations in the future.

This event clearly shows how important it is to work responsibly and exactly when working in the field. Such an accident can not only lead to interruptions in the power supply, but also brings risks to the health of the drivers and the security of the area. The incident in Maxfelde can be understood as a reminder for all farmers to always be aware of the dangers that exist when working with heavy machines.
