Authorities in north-central Wisconsin believe drugs and distracted driving are factors in a crash involving an Amish buggy that left nine people injured.
The Taylor County Sheriff’s Office says a car driven by 35-year-old Sklyer Opelt of Medford rear-ended the buggy Wednesday afternoon in the town of Little Black.
Deputies say nine of the ten occupants in the buggy were taken to the hospital with significant injuries.
Investigators say Opelt is expected to be charged with operating under the influence and inattentive driving.
