Newsweek previously reported that an 83-year-old Missouri woman rear-ended an Amish buggy in 2018, only months after her involvement in a separate buggy collision. Sadly, however, the first crash resulted in the death of the buggy’s driver, a pregnant 29-year-old woman named Mattie Miller.
When asked if she believed she could continue driving, the Missouri woman said: “I haven’t had time to think about it, I can’t answer that.”
These collisions with Amish buggies happen all too often. There is no excuse other than plain recklessness. They should be prosecuted vigorously until stupid morons learn to respect human life.
We had a situation here in my part of Missouri about a week ago. Amish buggy hit by hit and run driver. The 18 year old female sustained serious injuries (eyes fixed and dilated), her husband sustained injuries but not near as bad as hers. She is pregnant. Last I heard, she is still alive.
Sad.
