DECATUR, IND. -- A drag race between two horse-drawn buggies
ended with one
of the drivers losing control and running head-on into
another buggy,
seriously injuring a passenger, police said.
The two buggies were racing late Sunday on a county road in
Adams County
about 20 miles south of Fort Wayne when the wreck happened,
state police
said.
Ruth Ann Schwartz, 31, of rural Berne, suffered a head
injury when she was
thrown from a buggy and was listed in stable condition at
Adams County
Memorial Hospital. She was a passenger in the buggy driven
by 33-year-old
Victor Schwartz.
A 7-year-old boy also riding in Schwartz's buggy was ejected
but not
injured, police said. Four other children riding in the
buggy also were not
hurt.
The driver of the third buggy, 26-year-old David Wickey, was
arrested on a
charge of driving a vehicle while intoxicated. He was jailed
Monday under
$2,500 bond.
While the northeastern Indiana area has a large Amish
community, state
Trooper Bob Brophy said he did not know of any other recent
problems with
drag-racing buggies.
