Mesopotamia's Road Repair Urgency Exposed by Buggy Accident
In Mesopotamia, a charming county road winds through the Amish country, where the familiar sound of horse-drawn buggies can often be heard. Samantha Mast, a friend of the Amish community, knows firsthand the challenges these horses face navigating the bumpy roads. Mast, who used to work as a livestock trucker, now assists the community and has witnessed the unfortunate consequences of the poor road conditions. Recently, a tragic incident occurred where a horse's feet were injured due to a snapped bolt on a buggy caused by a rough patch of road. Mast expressed her frustration and concern for the safety of both the horses and the community. County officials, including Deputy Engineer Gary Shaffer, acknowledged the issue and assured that plans are in place to seek funding for repairing the road next year. Despite the challenges, Mast emphasizes the importance of ensuring the safety of both the animals and the residents by properly maintaining the roads.
