Massive 40-Ton Crane Sparks Chaos in Penshurst Village!
Giant Crane Gets Stuck After Flood Drama
A huge 40-ton Alteran Liebherr crane from Ainscough Crane Hire in Aylesford came off the road in Penshurst Village this morning. The yellow beast was trying to squeeze past several vehicles after getting stuck overnight in floodwater.
Driver Drama Blocks Rescue Efforts
Police faced a nightmare when the driver of a white AMG Mercedes refused to move, forcing officers to arrange for that vehicle to be recovered first.
Heavy-Duty Recovery Underway
Two specialist cranes equipped with powerful winches were called in to haul the giant machine back onto the road. The tricky recovery is expected to take several hours.
Police warn: The road will remain closed for the next few hours as teams work to clear the scene.
