A 14 year old was driving an agricultural tractor on a county road near Nappanee, Indiana. A car was coming towards him at 55MPH. The youth left turned into his driveway and the car was unable to stop. It hit the tractor and apparently a woman in the car died in the accident. Police said the tractor never moved when hit by the car. According to an Indiana State Trooper, the law allows anybody even with out a drivers license to drive a farm implement vehicle in Indiana.
Tragic for both families. The family of the deceased say they will work for change in the laws to require some sort of training before anyone can drive a farm tractor on public roads.
