The heavy snow fall on Tuesday (12th March, 2013) caused problems for one Bulgarian lorry drover who came off the road at the junction of the Niederstedter Straße and the B456 and got stuck in a snow drift.
He told police that he was unable to call for a breakdown truck to tow him back out, as he only had 50 Euro in cash with him.
It was one of the town’s employees who was out clearing snow that found a solution for the problem. He suggested contacting the garden centre Kofler in Oberstedten, which had a tow truck capable of the job. The owner of the garden centre came straight away and towed the lorry out of the drift, allowing the Bulgarian driver to continue on his way home.
The garden centre owner would not accept any money for his services, and was just happy to have been able to help.
