The Lindh family lives in a village on the border between Mörbylånga and Borgholm municipality on Öland.
They run a farm, and engines have been a natural part of the children's upbringing.
When eldest son Philip got his driver's license and got an A tractor shortly after his 15th birthday, happiness was total.
- It was simply a freedom, otherwise you are stuck and dependent on parents who can drive you, says Ulrika Lindh.
The father had to go to the emergency services
But one night in April 2020, the worst thing happened.
Philip drove his A tractor off the road after a wheel came loose.
He was pinned in the vehicle.
Father Patrik himself was one of the first at the scene of the accident, as he is a part-time firefighter.
Once there, he sensed that something was not right, as he was asked to block the road and stay away from the scene of the accident itself.
- It took quite a long time before I realized who it was, I didn't want to believe it.
It kind of couldn't be taken in, says Patrik Lindh.
Only at the hospital a couple of hours later did the family get the news that Philip's life could not be saved.
The seat belt
The number of A tractors has increased sharply in number in the last two years.
At the same time, the number of accidents has increased, and the Swedish Transport Agency has therefore been tasked with the government to review whether the rules need to be tightened.
It is about what speed the vehicles should be allowed to drive at, and whether the driver's license requirements should be changed, among other things.
But for the Lindh family, the investigation comes far too late.
- We hope for seat belt requirements and that it will also be decided that no more than two people can ride in the car.
I also think that the education should be supplemented by being able to test drive an A-tractor at traffic school, says Ulrika Lindh.
- It's strange that you don't need seat belts for A-tractors, because belts save lives.
It has been proven, says Patrik Lindh.
