5 hurt in Amish buggy crash, horse killed

I am personal friends with this amish family, a few corrections on this story. Mark Burkholder and his 16 yr.old son were taken to Clarion Hospital, his wife Ruth is in Pittsburgh UPMC with serious injuries, while there two young daughters ages around 9 and 13( not 2 and 3 ) remain in Childrens Hospital with serious injuries.
This was a very horrible accident and this family will need many prayers to heal. Please pray for the Burkholder family. Thank You Linda

I have seen many close calls with the amish buggys. Its to bad they have tobe on the roads. People just dont pay attention to them.

No, it's too bad agressive drivers have to be on our roads. People just don't pay attention; they yap on cell phones, no one uses turn signals any more (how can they give a proper signal while yapping on cells)and tailgating is rampant across the Country. Pa. actually has signs up "Beware of Agressive Drivers". Take the signs down and get them off the roads.

I live on a farm with 35mph as the speed limit. The only people going 35 are others who have a farm along this road. Most go 70 to 80mph. Where are the police--and if you get license numbers and call, they(the police)'fluff' you off. No, too bad middle Americans feel they don't have to obey the law or show courtesy any longer.

route 208 into shippenville is a haven for speeders due to poor patroling by state police trucks and cars travel at very high speeds and speed limits not obeyed. come over to our little town and see for yourself.
