At least two people were injured when a vehicle collided with an Amish buggy on Ky. 1297 on Tuesday morning.

Barren County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a crash at 7455 Old Bowling Green Road (Ky. 1297) this morning in reference to a motor vehicle versus horse-drawn buggy collision, according to a press release from the sheriff’s office.

“Preliminary investigation indicates that Ruth Jackson was traveling eastbound on Old Bowling Green Road when the collision occurred,” the release stated. “Investigators learned that sun glare was affecting the driver’s visibility immediately prior to the collision.”

Jackson did not sustain any injuries in the collision, according to the press release.

The operator of the buggy was transported for evaluation of a possible head injury. An infant who was riding in the buggy was flown to Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital by Air Methods for treatment of injuries sustained in the collision.
