Whoa!! Luuuuckyyy. I need to send this to my wife so that she can see how insanely safe a Pontiac Solstice is!! Want on of those real bad. (With a chevy LS V8 of course but would "settle" for the 260 hp supercharged model.)

Towing combines?

Any idea what was being towed? I've watched the news video and looked at the news photos and can't figure it out.

Here's one of the news photos.

That implement doesn't look like any combine I have seen.

Here's a quote from another source.

"Washington County Sheriff's Office says two tractors pulling trailers were traveling southbound on Front Street when a 2006 Pontiac Solstice with two people inside traveling northbound clipped the trailer of the first tractor."

Combines? Trailers?

Please note that while both stories listed the make and model of the car, neither story listed the makes and models of the tractors. While TBN members would recognize that they are JD tractors, I suspect that few of us would be able to identify the model numbers from the photos. This is yet another sad commentary on the state of what passes for journalism these days.

From a third "news" source:


"Two tractors pulling combine trailers were southbound on Highway 47 (Front Street) when a northbound sedan clipped the combine trailer behind the first tractor and then collided with the second tractor near Main Street shortly after 8:30 p.m., according to the Washington County Sheriff's Office.

Are copy editors a thing of the past?

What's a combine trailer? It's hard to tell, but that may be a loaded combine header trailer in the photo above.
