The road that Kyle was rear ended last night. Kyle was driving the tractor with the wheat drill behind, had just pulled out of a driveway up on the right side of the road and was turning left into a drive was about where I was taking the picture at. The car was about a mile down the road when he pulled out. The car had to be traveling at a high rate of speed. the driver said he look up and did not see any light, then looked down and back up and that is when he saw the flashing lights. The car that was behind that car said he saw the flashing lights 2 miles away. DH and I both think the driver as either texting, or dialing his cell phone.
This is our Wheat drill after the Acciedent. What part of bright flashing lights do you not see. The car hit the right back tire of the drill. The driver was very lucky that he was not injuried and neither was my son. No tickets were issued to the other driver. Which I can't believe. All the officer said was that, Farm machinery have the right of way either day or night it does not matter and that everything was working properly on our equipment.
The remains of the tire. DH and Kyle was able to get everything going this morning, they finished drilling wheat and are back to cutting beans, before the rain hits tomorrow. I wish it would hold off for a few weeks.
I love this picture of Tyler it is such a natural picture of him.

So glad that Kyle and the other drivers were not hurt.
