Tractor smashes into 4 parked cars in Tipperary

There were chaotic scenes in a small Tipperary village yesterday morning after a tractor went out of control and smashed into four parked cars before grinding to a stop on top of a small hatchback.

The large 94-reg tractor, which was pulling a full load of grain in a trailer and which is understood to have been driven by a local farmer, lost control at approximately 10.30am on Main St, Ardfinnan.

Locals reported hearing a loud commotion as the drama unfolded. They rushed to the scene to see what was happening and saw the vehicle carnage which had almost blocked off the street.
