The Lafayette County Sheriff’s Office is searching for the person who hit an Amish buggy early Sunday morning in Darlington and fled the scene.
Someone driving a vehicle struck the buggy from behind, throwing the buggy driver, Joseph King, 20, and his horse into a ditch near the 1700 block of Highway 81. The crash killed the horse, severely damaged the buggy and caused non-life threatening injuries to the driver, according to authorities in this southwestern Wisconsin county.
King found a nearby home where a 911 call was made shortly before 3 a.m. Sunday.
