A 58-year-old man has been charged with drunk driving after crashing into an Amish buggy that carrying two children on Thursday.
The Ashland County Sherriff's Office responded to the crash on State Route 96 just after 6:30 p.m. A witness told dispatchers that the driver responsible for the crash was walking away and that two Amish children, ages five and seven, had sustained injuries.
