The 78-year-old was overtaking a line of vehicles when a truck was approaching from the opposite direction. To avoid a head-on collision, he tried to hide behind the tractor. As a result, the tractor overturned into a ditch, spilling corn onto the road, and the fuel tank of the truck was damaged. Fortunately, no one was hurt in the collision.
