Initially, we reported that three people were hospitalized following a crash involving a horse and buggy and a truck on Sunday night, Oct. 20, according to Lancaster County Wide Communications — but now PA State Police has confirmed that four Amish people who were riding in the buggy were hospitalized.
The serious crash happened in the 400 block of Nottingham Road/PA Route 272, near the intersection of Nottingham and Little Britain roads in Little Britain Township at approximately 7:44 p.m.
The area has "no passing signs", double yellow lines, and a 45 MPH speed limit, according to Google Maps Street View.
"A Ford F-150 was following a horse and buggy as they traveled west on Nottingham Road," PSP Trooper James Grothey told us. "The operator of the horse and buggy signaled their intentions to turn left into their driveway and the horse and buggy began to turn. As the horse and buggy began to turn, the Ford F-150 attempted to pass on the left causing a collision."
That's when the buggy flipped onto its side, Grothey explained.
In total, "four people suffered injuries but only one was transported to Lancaster General Hospital by EMS," he said, adding that "I have no information on charges or the condition of the horse at this time."
