Fendt?

 

[melted welly]

Lorry run up the back of it?

 

[ImLost]

A friend of family was driving one of the school busses that the tractor landed in front.
I imagine there will be a lot of parents cleaning children's bottoms tonight!!

According to 5 live it was tatties [emoji4]

I did wonder if it would be in here yet when I heard it

 

[puppet]

As I said last week why always spuds?

 

[Richy12]

Seasonal worker I wonder?

 

[D14]

Is it right he went down the slip road in the wrong direction or just hearsay?

Quite plausible if he (she)hit an oncoming lorry

 

[poorsheepfarmer]

Looking at the marks where the tractor went over the central reservation it must have been

 

[Lincsman]

The concrete walls are supposed to stop accidents going over to the other carriageway.

 

[Sals dad]

I was told it was experienced driver hit from behind by truck , spun round tractor thrown over concrete barrier , driver thankfully walked away ok . Still I’m sure it sounds better that young driver went wrong way and caused accident !

Rrrrr
So may even be a foreign seasonal worker more scandal
Serious thou concrete barriers not designed to stop tractor with big wheels and no bumper fenders to bounce off wall
Hope he had a flishy flashy light on back off trailer

 

[ollie989898]

I hope everyone involved was ok. That could have been very very nasty, multiple pile up type scenario. Would being hit from behind by a truck have been enough to throw the tractor over the barrier and snap the trailer off? The mark on the road goes from the slow lane right across to the barrier nearly?

These tractor-trailer incidents have to stop, it will end up in much tighter regulations on agricultural kit.

Number 1 in the causes of death driving a tractor is being rear ended by an HGV on a dual carriageway.

It always makes me wonder why so many on here seem to have a thing against having 2 beacons on their tractors. As far as I’m concerned, the more visible you are, the safer you are. I don’t think people realise how vulnerable they are travelling down a fast road in a slow vehicle with one flashing light that can’t often be seen as the trailer hides it!!

 

[hollister]

There's too many vehicles with orange flashing lights on. Hgvs that have left job sites and leave them on, bt openreach vans, recovery trucks that have the vehicle on the bed and traveling the same speed have them on. All this makes drivers oblivious to the actual slow vehicle with the beacon!
