Ukrainians follow GPS blindly — This happened

Ukrainian truck driver and his partner certainly did not make it to their destination on time, as they apparently unconditionally trusted the navigation system in their vehicle.

The driver, listening to the directions of the GPS, made a turn off the main road and ended up in the Merzse-swamp, located in the 17th district of Budapest, with his truck weighing over 10 tonnes. Instead of backing up on the narrow road, he followed it for about six kilometres, getting stuck eventually, according to Blikk.

The semi-trailer truck sank almost half a meter into the muddy soil, as it continuously kept raining.

Norbert Erdős, owner of MMM Trans Kft, and his team arrived at the scene to rescue the trapped drivers and their vehicle from the captivity of the mud.

The continuous rain held the two Ukrainian men captive, as they sat in the truck for two full days before daring to leave the sunken vehicle and asking for help from the field guards.

“We explored the area by foot first, which was almost impassable. Only after that did we start the rescue with a 25 tonne vehicle, with the help of a windlass, meter by meter, we managed to tow the semi-trailer out in three hours,”
