A tragic collision involving a passenger car and an A-tractor in Mantorp, Mjölby municipality, has left a 15-year-old girl with serious injuries, necessitating intensive care.

The accident, which occurred around 8:30 p.

on Sunday, has prompted a police investigation into traffic carelessness.

Amidst growing concerns over the safety of A-tractors, experts from the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI) advocate for stricter regulations and a reevaluation of their use, especially among the youth.

The recent spike in accidents involving A-tractors has sparked a debate over their place on the roads, with EU suggestions leaning towards higher age limits and enhanced driver education.
