Eelde - On Thursday afternoon, a shovel lost control of the wheel at the Watermolendijk in Eelde.
The driver came to rest in a tree with the shovel's forks after hitting a few trees. Passers-by said that the driver of the shovel had to swerve for a few cyclists, after which things went wrong. The wheels snapped off when the shovel hit the tree.
The road is closed to secure the shovel. The municipality is working on absorption granules for the leaking oil. Fortunately, no injuries were reported in the accident, but the shock is there.
