Watch out for farm equipment says OPP

A Windsor man has been charged after a car crashed into a farm tractor.

The Ontario Provincial Police in Norfolk County said it happened on Highway 3 in Townsend on Tuesday at around 8:43 p.m.

Investigators determined that 37-year-old Robert Patrick St. John of Windsor allegedly slammed his car into the back of a farm tractor being driven by a 60-year-old man from St. Catharines.

There were no serious injuries reported by either driver.

"The OPP encourages all motorists to be mindful of farm equipment operators and to give them the necessary room to do their work by sharing the roadways," said Inspector Joseph Varga, detachment commander, Norfolk County OPP. "By being aware of farm equipment during your travels on rural roads, you can help make the trip safe for both you and Ontario farmers."
