Local Tractor Accident

This accident happened just north of West Plains, MO, on Friday, April 13, 2012.
Two brothers decided to tow a semi-tractor to the recycling center with a Ford tractor. They hooked the truck to the tractor with a log chain and away they went. They were doing OK until they had to go down a hill. Now they were not the brightest two lights in the box since the truck had no brakes. As you can see the truck over-ran the tractor. Believe it or not, the brother driving the tractor suffered only minor injuries after being trapped and rescued by firefighters. He was treated at the emergency room and released. The firefighter who helped with the rescue simply said: "He was blessed."
Be careful, guys, when towing anything with your tractor.
