Dover, DE – Troopers are investigating a hit and run crash involving a horse and buggy that occurred late Wednesday evening northwest of Dover
The incident happened around 10:00 p.m. Wednesday August 5, 2015, as 44 year old male was in control of a horse drawn buggy that was stopped at the stop sign on Sharon Hill Road intersecting with West Denneys Road. The horse may have become spooked and jutted out into the eastbound travel lane of West Denneys Road and was struck by an unknown make and model vehicle traveling eastbound. The vehicle failed to stop after colliding with the horse and continued eastbound on West Denneys Road. The 44 year old Amish male was uninjured, but the horse sustained fatal wounds and died at the scene.
If anyone has any information in reference to this incident or are able to provide a vehicle description they are asked to contact Corporal C. Nicholson at Troop at 302-378-5749.

ReplyDeleteSounds like you know something, that comment was one of a guilty party
DeleteHorse Lives Matter!!
ReplyDeleteThe title is misleading. It infers a human was killed. Title should read,
ReplyDelete"Amish hit and run: Buggy driver unharmed, Buggy loses 1 horsepower."
There is a vehicle somewhere with horse hair on it!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe the "make it up" blogger should investigate whether the horse was well-cared for before the accident.
