Manure accident in Malchin: tanker truck with 22,000 liters tips over into the ditch!

Today in Malchin will certainly be remembered because around 4:50 p.m. a tank trailer with a whopping 22,000 liters of liquid manure slipped and fell into a ditch. The accident occurred between the towns of Pribbenow and Rottmanshagen and was reported by the dpa. Time online reported that the 20-year-old driver of the tractor had to swerve to avoid a collision with an oncoming vehicle. Unfortunately, the evasive maneuver resulted in the trailer detaching from the tractor and landing upside down in the ditch.

In the course of the accident, manure leaked out, although the exact amount initially remained unclear. The fire brigade was quickly on site and took immediate measures to prevent the liquid from spreading further. The damage caused is estimated at around 130,000 euros, affecting both the tractor and the tank trailer.

Fire brigade in action

The fire brigade arrived promptly and did everything they could to deal with the incident. Fortunately, thanks to the barriers that were set up, the spread of the manure was largely brought under control. Such accidents are not only annoying for those involved, but also problematic from an environmental perspective.

This shows once again how important it is to focus on security in agriculture. Even if the driver reacted quickly, such accidents are often unavoidable. A watchful eye is particularly required in areas where agricultural vehicles regularly travel on the roads in everyday life.

Conclusion and outlook

Malchin is known for its rural surroundings and agriculture plays a central role here. Residents often face the challenge of ensuring road safety while agricultural machinery is on the move. Now it is hoped that lessons will be learned from this incident to avoid similar accidents in the future.

Residents also face the question of how often such incidents occur and whether they could have an impact on the environment. Since the fire department responded quickly to the accident, one can hope that major damage was prevented.

In conclusion, in an active agricultural area like this, dangers often lurk right outside the door. A good knack for dealing with road traffic is therefore essential.

We will monitor this situation as it develops and report if new information comes to light. Stay safe, dear readers!
