The story says the combine had the feeder on it but it did not. I bet there would have been less damage if it was on.

That kid got very lucky that day.

Wow he was lucky,

This gives an entirely new meaning to hitting the Deere caught in your headlights.

But how could he not see a big green combine crossing his path in broad daylight?

Maybe he was busy texting.

Man, that looks like a heavy trailer. How do you miss a HUGE combine like that? Probably texting... Up here, texting or talking while driving will be illegal starting Jan1. Texting while walking should be illegal also, I hit a girl on my bicycle yesterday, texting away, walking like a lost puppy, I almost made it around her...

It looks like he had a trailer FULL of brand-spanking new fluorescent light fixtures...
Not sure how heavy they were, but they were definitely scrunched forward in the trailer after the impact!!!

I don't see an Airbag deployed.. He probably ate the steering wheel and that big green thing in his passenger seat.
A true miracle!
