Automobile accidents are something we hear about on the radio or see on TV every day. Generally speaking, injuries resulting from vehicle collisions occur due to a high rate of speed. However, farm equipment (i.e. tractors) cannot travel nearly as fast as regular motor vehicles, yet the result of a motor vehicle and tractor collision are just as damaging, if not more so.

The weight and size of most farm tractors are much greater than most vehicles on rural roads/highways. One particular case simulation used in the EOP materials focuses on this exact situation, provides the logistics of the collision described in the story, and ends with a very possible conclusion.
