Five Amish farmers die in NY road crash

By musiclover - Tue Jul 19, 11:44 pm

At least five Amish farmers were killed on Tuesday in upstate New York when a car trying to overtake a slow-moving tractor collided head-on with their van in what police described as a horrific crash.

Yates County Sheriff Ron Spike told Reuters the crash occurred when a car heading southbound in a no-passing zone tried to overtake a tractor that had spray equipment attached to it. The car then collided with the oncoming van.

“It was a horrific accident,” Spike said of the crash, which took place in Benton, New York, about 60 miles southeast of Rochester.
