Unlucky tractor driver George Ashby came across quite a shock when he turned onto this main road in Romney Marsh, Kent. Heading towards him on his side of the road at approximately 90mph was this Toyota Avensis.

wouldn't fancy trying that in an FTO

That tracktor is prolly still able to move..
I've driven a few of them and once you get to a certain size (larger than a lawnmower) they're pretty unstopable...I've seen one with no front wheels being reveresed around a yard! It didn't sound or look well - but it was still moving!

No way is that a 90mph accident. Certainly not anything like even half that speed at point of impact.

It'd have to be fairly quick to break the front axle on the tractor.
I doubt it was 90mph either, but the guy in the Avensis was overtaking, so my guess is over 50 or 60.
