In Szymański Park in Warsaw's Wola district, a tractor drove into a fountain placed at the sidewalk level. The structure failed, and the vehicle sank inward. Emergency services are working to pull the tractor out, which may not be easy.
Artur Węgrzynowicz, a reporter from tvnwarszawa.pl, went to the scene. – The driver of the tractor, who was pulling a barrel, most likely with the intention of watering the plants, drove onto the slabs under which the fountain installation is located. It is a floor-type fountain, its elements do not protrude above the pavement, it is illuminated. The supports supporting the structure did not withstand the weight and the tractor fell inside to a depth of about a meter – the reporter reports.
Police and firefighters arrived at the scene. – It will be difficult to pull this vehicle out – Węgrzynowicz estimates. – It will probably be necessary to dismantle or further damage the fountain. Technical service is already working on site, disconnecting the power and water installations – adds the tvnwarszawa.pl reporter.
We asked the fire department about the situation. – One team went to the scene. It was determined that the firefighters would not be able to pull the tractor out. The land manager declared that he would organize heavy equipment at his own expense that would allow the machine to be pulled out – informs Captain Radosław Leśnik from the Municipal Headquarters of the State Fire Service.
