The Luise Kiesselbach Tunnel in Munich had to be closed for hours.
Munich - It was a lengthy operation for the fire department in Munich: On Saturday afternoon (February 24th), emergency services were called to the Luise Kiesselbach Tunnel.
A harvester that was being transported on a low-loader slipped and threatened to fall off the trailer.
A harvester is a special wood harvesting machine.

The Munich fire department had to call in special forces to secure the machine, which weighed several tons
The situation posed a challenge for the emergency services: the device weighed 22 tons.
Special forces were requested as quickly as possible.
With their equipment, the slipped harvester was supported.
A hydraulic jack with a sliding device pushed the implement back into its starting position.
These were work measures that had to be carried out carefully and sensitively and therefore took a certain amount of time.

The Luise Kiesselbach Tunnel in the direction of Garmisch was therefore completely closed by the police for a period of around 3.5 hours.
There were no injuries in this operation.
Thanks to the careful work of everyone involved, the damage was kept to a minimum.
