Jake's Ophs..... in Tractor vs. Dodge Dually Truck, Starring Jake Moffat, we can see what effects the speeding truck had on the turning tractor... Jake was turning into the driveway of the Shultz Ranch where he works, across the street from his Grandma Moffat's home place, with his hand out signaling a left turn.. he was headed south, pulling a John Deere brushhog that he had just mowed the roadside with, when a 2000 Dodge Dually with a 20 year old driver, going at a fast rate of speed, topped the hill and decided he could not stop, so he tried to pass Jake on the 'LEFT" of all places... well, tractor turns over upside down and lands on Jake's grandmothers side of the road, jake goes flying through the air and lands unconcious, and the Dually ends up on the Shultz Side of the road in the Shultz pasture. The mircale of this is... in almost every type of accident of this type, small tractor roll over happening fast, the driver gets pinned underneath the tractor and is usually dead. Our neighbor Nathan Payne, barber who cuts Dad's hair sometimes, son, Puddin.. drove the ambulance and was on the seen quickly, telling Jake when he heard the call come in, he remembered Jake was working for the Shultz Ranch and it was just across from Jake's Grandma's. He said something just told him to hurry cuz it could be Jake... Jake says " It was really awesome to open my eyes and see Pudding standing there to help me! He did an Awesome Job! I was on way to the hay field of our just south of where this happened, but for the first time since 1963, I went down the road a mile east, or else I would have come upon this... and probably would not have been much good to anyone!!! The album of the damage will be posted shortly on the left in photos links.
