An Amish buggy was rear-ended in a hit-and-run crash Wednesday evening in Fort Fairfield.
Mahlon Swartzentruber, 33, of Fort Fairfield and a 9-year-old passenger were traveling on Main Street in the horse-drawn buggy about 6:34 p.m. when a dark colored Jeep Wrangler hit them, according to Fort Fairfield Police Chief Matthew Cummings.
The collision sent Swartzentruber’s buggy crashing into a parked pickup truck, Cummings said Wednesday night.
The Jeep’s driver didn’t stop and fled east on Main Street.
When police arrived, Swartzentruber and the child were walking around the wrecked buggy. They sustained minor injuries that didn’t require a trip to the hospital.
The horse wasn’t hurt.
The crash remains under investigation.
Anyone with information about the suspect can call the Fort Fairfield Police Department at 207-472-3808.
