It was at the beginning of August that the A-tractor was to cross a railway crossing in Lugnvik. But because the tractor was lowered and had very little suspension, it got stuck on the track.
The people in the tractor managed to get out before a train arrived.
Failed in inspection
The police investigation into the incident has shown that just a week before the accident, the A-tractor was stopped in a flying inspection and failed. The A-tractor had major flaws. The rear suspension had been removed and the front suspension cut. Low profile tires on the vehicle resulted in it getting stuck on the track.
The accused man had bought the A tractor for his child but claims that he did not change the suspension. He is now charged with breaching the Vehicle Ordinance and admits to the offence.
