Was this a farm tractor (the primary sense in English when the word "tractor" is used unqualified), or has something been lost in translation? I was under the impression that you lived in a fairly urban area (doesn't mean you can't have rural friends, but you'd be more likely not to be close enough to render timely aid).
It was a small farm tractor with a trailer. And yes, very rural place: Upper
Westerwald. I travel between Wolfsburg and Westerwald, with COVID-19, I only visit Wolfsburg for some work appointments, but do most of the work from my small office here.
This accident happened about 1 km away from me, but no, friend is a strong word for somebody I would rather call a "lucky fool". His wife is a long-term friend of my girlfriend and his children are good friends of my children. But aside of this, I have little contact with him and prefer some social distance to his friends.
Ambulance and police arrived before we got there, we only heard the crash on our way home without even knowing what had happened. We got a weird feeling when the ambulance car drove towards the farm next to us, instead of, as expected, the federal road uphill. Our main job was just caring for the children this night.
(Maybe a bit lucky there. While the next hospital is just 12 minutes away, police usually needs around 40 minutes to arrive because of the nearby state border, today they got here in a few minutes)

And the next one... our cat has caught a young bird alive and brought him home for playing.
I can't tell which injuries the bird has, one wing does not feel too good, but looks like we are now responsible for him for the next weeks.
