Three Amish Siblings Killed in Buggy Collision

Three Amish siblings, Glenda Jo Yoder, 13, Darrell Yoder, 10, and Devon Yoder, 9, were tragically killed when their horse-drawn buggy was rear-ended by a Mercedes SUV driven by a 17-year-old in Bremen, Indiana. The impact of the crash ejected the children from the buggy, resulting in their deaths at the scene, while the SUV driver was unharmed. This incident highlights the growing concern over the safety of Amish buggies on roads, as Indiana has a significant Amish population exceeding 63,000, with an increasing number of collisions involving buggies. The lack of safety features such as seatbelts and structural components in buggies makes them particularly vulnerable in accidents. Local residents and experts emphasize the need for increased awareness among drivers about the presence of buggies and the unique challenges they present on the road. It remains unclear if any charges will be filed against the SUV driver.
