Police say that the vehicles were attempting to pass the tractor when the collision occurred.
No injuries were reported.
As a result of the investigation, a 52-year-old woman from Prince Edward County was charged with careless driving.
OPP provided the following statement:
“With seasonal farm activity continuing throughout Prince Edward County, motorists are reminded to use extra caution when sharing the road with tractors and other slow-moving agricultural equipment. These vehicles are a common sight on our rural roads and may travel well below posted speed limits, make wide turns, or require additional space on the roadway.
Drivers are encouraged to slow down, maintain a safe following distance, and remain patient. Never attempt to pass farm equipment unless it is legal and you have a clear view of the road ahead and enough space to complete the manoeuvre safely. A few extra seconds of patience can help prevent a serious collision and keep everyone safe.
Please share the road, stay alert, and help ensure everyone gets to their destination safely.”
