During an incident in Russia recently, a wheeled loader driver rammed the machine into a row of cars as well as a van, before the piece of equipment then ground to a halt. At this point one of the owners of the vehicles that had been damaged jumped up and began pummelling the wheeled loader driver. Other enraged vehicle owners quickly appeared and the wheeled loader driver stumbled out of the machine cab, to be further assaulted by those surrounding him. The wheeled loader driver was barefoot and seemed to be drunk, although this would not necessarily explain his actions. He no doubt will have time to regret his foray as it seems unlikely the owners of those vehicles he managed to mangle will forgive and forget.
