Tragic accident kills 20-year-old Amish man in Casey County
A tragic accident occurred on Monday morning in Casey County, resulting in the death of a 20-year-old Amish man named John Gingerich. The collision between a van and his horse and buggy took place during his morning commute to work. Deputy Coroner Abby Pittman explained that the vehicle behind John failed to see him as he pulled onto northbound Highway 127 around 7 a.m. Kentucky State Police had to close a section of the road for several hours to investigate the crash. Horse-drawn buggies are a common sight in rural areas like Casey County, but their slow speed can make them challenging to spot, especially during dawn and dusk. Pittman emphasized the importance of driving carefully and being patient, particularly on dark and narrow country roads. This tragic incident should serve as a reminder to always be cautious and watch out for horse and buggy traffic.
