Police said the horse was not injured in the crash, but both the buggy and Mustang sustained disabling damage.
The state has funded an awareness program, through Ohio State University, to implement effective public information programs and campaigns that focus both on the Amish and non-Amish communities.
In 2006, according to state records, there were 58 such crashes resulting in property damage, 60 injury crashes and four resulting in fatalities.
