What a strong woman! Professional driver Julia Starke (24) tackles the salvage work of a stuck truck on Thursday.
The truck has been blocking the B1 in the direction of Müncheberg in the Märkisch-Oderland district for several hours since Wednesday night.
The 52 meter long transporter transports a component for a wind turbine in Wulkow, a so-called third shell.
The articulated lorry got stuck on a central island and was damaged on the tractor. The cause of the accident is currently assumed to be a driver’s error, it was said on site.
A police spokeswoman said it was difficult to find a towing company for such a heavy load.
Only when Julia Starke and her colleague, crane driver Ronny Türk (42), arrived did things slowly progress.
“I’ve been a professional driver for six years now. I got the idea for this job from my friend. I have a lot of fun driving the big cars and working with the heavy parts,” says the petite woman while she unerringly attaches the heavy crane chains.
In the end, the 80-ton colossus is back on the road safely. Starke: “Ronny and I are a great team!”
The main road was finally reopened to traffic in the late afternoon. According to initial estimates, the damage to property is around 10,000 euros.
