Craig Waddell, a sixth-generation farmer in Ottawa, narrowly escaped serious injury when a semi-truck collided with his tractor. The incident occurred on Mitch Owens Road, a location the Waddell family says has become increasingly hazardous due to escalating truck traffic and reckless driving. They report frequent near-misses, highlighting a growing concern for safety in the rural area. The family believes the increasing volume of large vehicles combined with speeding drivers poses a significant threat. The recent crash serves as a stark reminder of these dangers and fuels calls for improved road safety measures. They hope to raise awareness about the risks faced by farmers and other residents in the area.
