Amish buggy crash, sister cover-up detailed

Prosecutors have charged a woman they say hit an Amish buggy in southeastern Minnesota last fall, killing two children in the process. Why the charges took so long is a twist in the story, and FOX 9’s Maury Glover has the details.

HINCKLEY, Minn. (FOX 9) - A crash involving a car and an Amish buggy in Hinckley has left two children with life-threatening injuries.

On Feb. 1, the Pine County Communications Center took a 911 call regarding a crash that occurred on the 27000 block of Hinckley Road, with the caller stating they had, "hit an object."

According to the Pine County Sheriff's Office, when deputies arrived they discovered a collision that had occurred between a vehicle and a horse-drawn buggy. At the time, there were six people in the buggy, with a 2-year-old and 4-year-old child sustaining life-threatening injuries. The driver of the vehicle was uninjured.

The victims were transported to Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis. The crash remains under investigation.
