A woman driving an Amish buggy was struck from behind by a minivan driver in western Minnesota and severely injured.
The collision occurred about 5:50 p.m. Monday south of New York Mills on southbound County Hwy. 67 near 370th Street, the Otter Tail County Sheriff’s Office said.
Mabel Stauffer, 40, of New York Mills “suffered severe injuries” after the buggy was hit by a minivan driven by Allyn Jokela, 85, of New York Mills, a Sheriff’s Office statement read.
Stauffer was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Perham. Officials have yet to release further information about her condition. Jokela was treated at the scene and did not require further medical attention.
Sheriff’s Lt. Greg Seim said Tuesday that the buggy’s horse “was able to run away from the scene,” but he had no further information about its condition.
