State Police say two people were med-flighted after a car struck a horse-drawn buggy carrying seven people in Richmond County.
The accident occurred at the intersection of Rt. 3 and Calvary Road. A 38-year-old Lancaster County woman driving a Nissan sedan hit an Amish buggy. The buggy was driven by a 44-year-old Warsaw man with seven occupants. Two passengers from the buggy suffered serious injuries and were med-flighted to a nearby hospital. The other people on board were treated for non-life-threatening injuries. According to the trooper, “The driver was distracted at the time of the crash,” but showed “no signs of impairment.” Charges are pending in the wreck, which remains under investigation by Virginia State Police.
