CADILLAC, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Two children were killed and a third suffered serious injuries after an accident Monday involving a passenger vehicle and an Amish buggy in Wexford County.
The sheriff’s office said a preliminary investigation showed a vehicle traveled east on East 16 and struck an Amish buggy carrying three children as the buggy pulled into the intersection. A person who described themselves as a witness on Facebook said that the horse “bolted” into traffic.

A 9-year-old girl was flown to Devos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids with serious injuries.
A 48-year-old Manton man was the driver of the vehicle; his three passengers were not injured.
The preliminary investigation found that speed does not appear to be a factor in the crash.
