DANG and Yellow Cherokee's are oh so rare! I would call that a freak accident, who would think that right when you go to pass the tractor it would turn.
I'm glad nobody was hurt.
That being said, what the hell was your wife doing that she completely missed him turning off the road? I mean if he was turning and hit her, that's one thing, but from that pic it looks like Jeep hit the tractor, not the other way around. The tractor is almost completely off the road... they're big and loud and pretty hard to miss. They they're not exactly very agile, it would have taken a good bit of time (in terms of highway driving speeds) for him to turn and get that far off the road for her to hit him.
Judging by the skid marks, she may have been running speed limit or so when she moved over from a ways back behind the tractor when he turned, the she reacted by jamming on the brakes in a panic stop (I'm guessing it was a Non-ABS truck?) and slid into the left rear tire. What I'm wondering is that if his lights weren't working, did he just turn and not bother to see if somebody was coming, Did he at least try to signal my using his left arm and Shaggy's wife may have missed it, or was the farmer looking for a wreck to get some money from and turned in front of an oncoming automobile.
Harvest season so they have been putting in the hours and if hes anything like the farmers around here he was probably not entirely sober, just guessing.
she was running 55-60mph and was commited to passing when he turned left. none of the lights on the tractor worked. Thinking he didn't look or see her.
My insurance offered $7,104 today and are going to try and get me the $500 deductable from the farmers insurance as well.

The way it's beginning to sound, I'll bet he didn't bother looking before turning. How in the hell do you miss a vehicle that is painted that bright of a color if you're sober, not color blind, and still making the attempt to look behind you:shocked:
