Tractor driver spends two hours trapped in cab in Tallinn's Lasnamäe
A tractor driver was stuck for about two hours in his cab in Lasnamäe, a district of Estonia's capital Tallinn. Rescuers freed him through the emergency exit, and he needed no medical care.
Rescuers in Lasnamäe, a district of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, had to help a tractor driver who could not get out of his cab last weekend. The man ended up spending around two hours inside, but the incident ended without injury.
According to the press office of the Northern Rescue Centre (Põhja päästekeskus), the emergency call centre was notified at 15:45 that a tractor driver on Punane Street was unable to leave the cab.
How it happened
Rescuers from the Lasnamäe crew who responded found that the driver had become trapped while unloading the tractor from a truck. The tractor's own lifting mechanism was blocking the door, so attempts to open it failed.
The man had left his mobile phone in the truck and therefore could not call for help himself. In the end, the call centre was contacted by an employee of a nearby company who heard his cries for help.
Rescue
The rescuers got the driver out of the cab through the emergency exit. He did not require medical assistance.
