When the buggies started arriving at the accident scene, Cumberland County Sheriff Darrell Hodges feared that a confrontation was about to erupt.
Hodges had been called to the site of a horrible traffic crash on Cumberland Road in the early evening hours of July 14, 2024. A horse-drawn carriage that carried an Amish family of two adults and five children had been struck from behind by a pickup truck. All seven people were ejected from the carriage.
