Angry civic leaders in Whitchurch, Shropshire have described a young man
who drove his tractor through water which had flooded the road
underneath a railway bridge as irresponsible. Traveling at speed the
driver went straight through the water creating a huge wave.
His friend narrowly avoided getting soaked as he captured it all on
video. The friends are then heard laughing with the area drenched in
water. Mayor of Whitchurch Councillor Rob Hewson said: “It’s about time
the lads that drove that tractor grew up. You cannot behave like that on
a well-used road. I think they are very irresponsible and very
childish. Anything could have happened.
“They could have skidded and gone into the bridge or they could have gone under the bridge and completely lost control.
The size of the wave it caused was incredible. If you drive at that speed in that amount of water you are never in control.
I don’t know why they decided to do it, it’s disgusting behavior.”
Peggy Mullock, Shropshire councilor for Whitchurch North, said: “I just
hope they haven’t done any damage to the area surrounding the bridge.
The splash the tractor made is incredible. Surely there is a better way
for these youngsters to spend their time. There must be a better way to
clean your tractor.”
