Mo. Amish buggy crash ruled homicide

MOBERLY, Mo. — The death of an Amish man killed when a car struck his
horse-drawn buggy has been ruled a homicide.

Twenty-nine-year-old Eli L.L. Borntrager of Madison died Jan. 12 while
driving his buggy on U.S. 63 in Moberly. The horse was badly injured and had to
be euthanized.


The Moberly Monitor-Index reported that Randolph County Coroner Gerald
Luntsford finalized his report this past week.

It noted that the cart was equipped with a slow moving vehicle triangle of
appropriate size, that the road was dry and the weather was clear.

The report also said there was no indication that the driver of the car
made any attempt to stop or avoid the cart.
