Full harvest overturns dramatically in Guldental: drivers injured!

On Sunday afternoon, October 6, 2024, there was a serious accident in a vineyard near Guldental in the district of Bad Kreuznach. A grapes, a special vehicle for harvesting grapes, overturned in a particularly steep section around 4:25 p.m. The vehicle overturned several times and finally came to a standstill about 15 meters below the original position.

Fortunately, the driver of the full harvest was able to free himself from the badly damaged vehicle. It turned out that he was only slightly injured, which took a good end in view of the serious accident. The exact circumstances of the accident have so far been unclear and are examined by the authorities.

high damage to property

The material-technical damage to the grapes-harvester should be enormous, with estimates of around 400,000 euros for total damage. Such agricultural machines are expensive to buy and their damage often means considerable financial losses for the companies concerned. During this time, which is of crucial importance for the wine harvest, such incidents could significantly influence the seasonal income.

The picking time is critical because it has a fixed time frame. A failure of machines, especially at a time when they are used particularly intensively, could bring additional challenges for farmers. It remains to be seen how those responsible for the company concerned will deal with this incident, since they carry responsibility not only for the damage, but also for the future of their harvest planning.

The events related to the accident take attention and it is to hope that such incidents can be avoided in the future. More detailed information is still known, and the investigation on how the accident happened.
