According to Web Pro News, Pennsylvania State Police reported that a truck, driven by 36-year-old Matthew Coulter, drove into the back of the buggy on Pulaski Mercer Road, close to the intersection of Angel Road, approximately 60 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.
34-year-old Mary Byler and her 11-year-old daughter, who were riding in the buggy, were pronounced dead at the scene. 35-year-old William Byler, who was steering the horses, suffered serious injuries and is being treated at St. Elizabeth Health Center in Youngstown, Ohio, reports the Associated Press.
