Terror in the streets! Amish drag-racing in western New York

Four Amish youths were charged with underage drinking over the weekend after they crashed their horse-drawn buggy into a police cruiser in a town south of Buffalo, N.Y., authorities said yesterday.

Police were dispatched on Sunday night to the town of Sherman in response to complaints about Amish youths drinking and racing their horse-drawn carriages on the road, Chautauqua County Sheriff Joseph Gerace said.

“These Amish kids in buggies were racing up and down the street,” he said.

“When police came, there were two buggies on the road, and each was taking a lane of traffic up. One of the buggies tried to shift out of the way when a patrol car came and ended up crashing into it,” Gerace said.

The police report from the crash said the buggy flipped over and the horse broke free, running off to a nearby barn.
