A Bremen man is dead, after a pickup truck reportedly crashed into a horse-drawn buggy Tuesday afternoon. It happened just after 4:00 on 3B Road just east of Beach Road, according to Marshall County Coroner John Grolich.
He says both vehicles were heading west on 3B, when for an unknown reason, the truck hit the buggy from behind. The buggy’s lone occupant, LeRoy Hochstetler, 80, and the horse pulling the buggy were both killed, according to Grolich.
The coroner does not believe the driver of the pickup truck was injured. The Bremen Police and Fire departments, Lutheran EMS, and the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department assisted at the scene.
