NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. -- State police are searching for an unlikely suspect in a western Pennsylvania hit-and-run accident: the driver of an Amish buggy.
Troopers from the Mercer barracks say the buggy twice hit a passenger vehicle at a crossroads on Route 158 in Wilmington Township, about 6 p.m. Sunday.
The buggy then left the scene and its driver has yet to be identified.
Police say the victim is a woman who owns a Honda CRV, a crossover vehicle that was struck on its left side.
Nobody was hurt in the crash.
Gads, I love that video.
Maybe the horse was drunk.
The point is , How do they KNOW it was an Amish buggy?
Profiling?
What if it was a MUSLIM buggy?
What if it was a Presbyterian or Lutheran?
Maybe it was a Catholic celebrating St. Patrick’s Day..........

For all we know the buggy might have been buggyjacked by some aspiring rapper!
The buggy tried to pass her? More likely, she came to a place in the road with a wide sport or shoulder and tried to pass the buggy because it didn't move over soon enough to suit her.
The Amish have a well-known aversion to getting involved with the law, so if the damage to the buggy was nominal, it is much easier just to fit it yourself and forget it. However, the woman has to explain something to her insurance company.
The Media is painting the whole Amish community with a very wide brush, to automatically assume it was an Amish buggy. There ought to be outrage at this slander!............................
Ping.
I must share that!
Amish don’t buy insurance. It’s a form of gambling......................
Did I forget the sarcasm tag? LOL
The buggy then left the scene and its driver has yet to be identified... Little known to most people is.. the worker (usually a man) uses the buggy to go to work and gets out and the horse goes back to the barn so the wife can use it for the rest of the day. At a specific time, the horse pulls the buggy back to the workplace where the man is. Once the man gets home, he unharnesses the horse until the next day so the horse can get some rest. Nice Horsie.
Don't you think that if she tried to pass and clipped the buggy while passing the damage would be on the right (passenger's) side?
Yes it just disappeared with no communication. It may be hidden in a barn somewhere. The last know path was down a trail. Must look for debris..................
Are you saying the buggy was on AUTO-HORSE?...........................
Don’t the buggies have the right of way wherever they can be legally driven?
Now I’m imagining an Amish version of The Car.
What if no one was driving?
I’m willing to bet some FReepers think it ditched into the nearest pond or lake for absolutely no reason!
My daughter went to school in New Wilmington. Said the Amish boys liked to crash the frat parties. She liked to crash them also, except that she was with campus security, looking to bust under-age drinkers.
