A woman from West Bridgewater, Massachusetts accused a local farmer of committing a hit and run with their tractor.

According to The Enterprise, the woman’s car was parked on in a grassy area. She called police at 4 p.m. Tuesday when she found a small dent and surface scratches filled with mud and dirt on her car.

She told officers a tractor had plowed the field near where her car was parked around 8 a.m. Tuesday morning and believes the tractor hit her vehicle.

Hit and run

When questioned by police, the farmer confirmed he plowed the field but denied striking the woman’s car.

A inspection of the tractor by an officer proved unsuccessful as the rust and dirt made it difficult to determine if there was any paint transfer.

No arrests were made but police suggested the woman contact her insurance company about the situation.
