Both drivers hurt in northern Indiana cruiser-buggy crash

MIDDLEBURY, Ind. (AP) - An Indiana State police car struck an Amish horse-drawn buggy that pulled out in front of it, injuring both drivers.

State police say 20-year-old Bryan Dean Troyer of Middlebury was driving the buggy Sunday night when he failed to yield to a patrol car driven by 39-year-old Cpl. Peter Bradley. The crash occurred about 10:45 p.m. at a rural intersection along State Route 13 in Elkhart County.

Police say both men were treated at a hospital, Troyer for injuries to his foot, hip and back and Bradley for injuries to his left arm.

Investigators say the buggy did not have any functioning lights.

Police say the horse pulling the buggy ran from the scene after the crash and was later found at Troyer's home.
