Amish buggy ‘Horse suffered several lacerations’ following Ashland County two-vehicle crash

MONTGOMERY TOWNSHIP, Ohio (WOIO) - Troopers responded to a two-vehicle crash in Ashland County that left a horse injured, according to Ohio State Highway Patrol.

Around 6:18 a.m. on Tuesday, a 2014 Ford Explorer struck an Amish buggy due to following too close to the horse-drawn carriage.

OSHP says that after the crash, the horse became detached from the buggy and continued running west on U.S. 250 before entering I-71 North in Montgomery Township.

A passing driver noticed the horse running in the right lane and used his car to guide the animal onto the right shoulder against the guardrail.

The driver kept the horse secured until troopers arrived, according to Ohio State Highway Patrol.

OSHP says neither driver had injuries, but the horse suffered several lacerations to its legs from the crash.

Ohio State Highway Patrol is still investigating the crash.
