"...knocking one of the passengers off"??? I don't get that. Does that mean there were passengers on the tractor? Or, were there passengers ON (rather than IN) the car?

The report seems to indicate that the driver of the tractor is in critical condition and that the passenger on the tractor and the driver of the car only suffered minor injuries. It is apparent, by reviewing the report, that there was indeed, a passenger on the tractor.
