Lucky escape!

Got called out to help get this tractor and trailer out of this predicament, it's fair to say that buddy got a little closer to the edge than necessary! Took about 3 hours to extract the rig from its dodgy parking spot.

    And out. Only real damage to the tractor was the 2 flat tyres and bung front rim.

    Thank for the pictures, and most important no one was hurt. Looks like you've had your fair share of rain there!!

    That could have been much worse for wear on the tractor, I'm sure the driver needed a change of shorts... Is the road washed out or is that just a narrow crossing of some sort?

    ^ I was gonna say, thats a pretty narrow stretch to try to cross with that trailer. Seatbelt was on i take it?
