May 9, 2018

CAYUGA COUNTY, NY - Late last month, after responding to the third horse and buggy accident in three months, members of the Cayuga County Sheriff's Office sat down to discuss what had gone wrong on the road.

The string of accidents began in February when a horse-drawn buggy was struck from behind in the town of Locke. Fortunately, Lt. Michael Wellauer said, it was a minor collision and there were no injuries to the buggy occupants or the horse. No tickets were issued.

However, Sgt. Timothy Axton said the following cases were much more serious.

“ Before you came to speak, I mistakenly assumed that the Amish had a good sense of the Bible and how important it is to be saved. Because of my assumption, I didn’t worry about them and did not include them in my prayers. I didn’t think I needed to. Now, I know differently. Thank you for opening my eyes to their plight. I will be praying for you and your family and your mission. ” - Ravenna, OH
