There are no pictures at the link, other than a photo of the subject who was placed under arrest. Sounds like the accident might have been caused by carelessness on the part of the tractor operator. This happened about 20 miles from where I live, and was even closer to where I work. Just a tragic thing to happen, I hate it for the lady's family.
