Tractor verrer Turnaround Crash Wracks York County Farm, sparks have to need better training

A tractor -trailer was caught in front of the camera when he crashed into a well -known farm in York County as he tried to make a turnaround.

Brian Smyser, owner of the Smysians Farm in Dover Township, fears that this will not be the last time that traffic has ended up in his private property.

“Usually someone takes out a fence or takes out something small, but not to this extent. I think that is by far the largest with which we had to deal with,” he said.

Smyser said the crash took place on Monday around 3:25 a.m. after the driver missed his train. He said the driver drove to the parking lot of the farm near East Berlin and South Salem Church-Straßen before retiring to her garage over 100 years old.

He said that the crash had been pressed under a crushed structure, the crash, personal cars and a beloved Ford truck from 1949 – types that can be seen at their annual autumn festival.

“We have many generations of families who have received pictures every year in the past 12 years,” he said. “That was the most important. That was our number one possession in the garage and we got it out.”

The damage was so bad that the garage had to be put down on Thursday.

He said that the driver was only used for about three weeks when the accident took place.

“As soon as he hit the garage for the first time, it woke us up; it was so difficult.

The smyers have set signs and ropes to prevent these mistakes from occurring again, but it did not work.

“With more and more warehouses that go under control here on site, you have to get more and more truck traffic -you just have to get better instructions or something for the truck driver. Or teach them better. Just tell them to stay on the streets and not in private property or parking spaces of other people,” said Smyser.

Smyser said that the new regulations of the community require that he himself had to make the repair.

This means that he has to rebuild the property around 30 feet of the Yellow Lane partitions on the main street. He also created a barrier with rocks for oncoming trucks.
