Eight people were ejected from a horse-drawn buggy after it was struck by a vehicle in Herkimer County Monday evening. A six-year-old boy was brought to the hospital, and a horse was killed in the crash in Danube.
The driver involved, who struck the rear of the wagon, was issued multiple tickets as a New York State Police investigation continues.
Walter McClure, a spokesperson for the state Department of Motor Vehicles, says drivers should use caution and stay alert when sharing the road with slow-moving vehicles like buggies. McClure spoke with WAMC's Lucas Willard
