The Prince Edward County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has charged one person after a motor vehicle collision.
On Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at approximately 10:00 a.m., a collision involving two vehicles and a slow-moving farm tractor occurred on County Road 4. The vehicles were attempting to pass the tractor when the collision occurred. No injuries were reported. As a result of the investigation, a 52-year-old woman from Prince Edward County was charged with careless driving.
With seasonal farm activity continuing throughout Prince Edward County, motorists are reminded to use extra caution when sharing the road with tractors and other slow-moving agricultural equipment. These vehicles are a common sight on our rural roads and may travel well below posted speed limits, make wide turns, or require additional space on the roadway.
Drivers are encouraged to slow down, maintain a safe following distance, and remain patient. Never attempt to pass farm equipment unless it is legal and you have a clear view of the road ahead and enough space to complete the manoeuvre safely. A few extra seconds of patience can help prevent a serious collision and keep everyone safe.
