Went on an emergency run yesterday, aqquaintance of ours was traveling on a two lane state route (Ohio). On a narrow section on a curve, she met a tractor pulling a planter coming in the opposite direction. Speed limit is 45 there. The road curves at about a 30 degree angle to the right and drops sharply in the direction she was traveling, it's kind of a blind curve. The tractor was headed up the hill and the planter was left of center. She went to the right to avoid a collision and caught the berm and over corrected losing control. She then went left of center and struck an Explorer head on that was behind the tractor. Both vehicles had heavy damage, but only very minor injuries luckily. Her car is totaled as it's older and the airbag deployed, the SUV is newer and will probably be repaired. Is the tractor driver at fault here? He was gone when we got there, don't know if he even stopped. Seems to me he is a least partially to blame since he was left of center. The SUV driver was the one that told us that the planter was left of center. I don't know if any citations were given.
