MADISON COUNTY, Ind. -- Two people were injured and a horse was killed after a hit-and-run accident involving a carriage in Madison County.
Darby Goyer, 18, was driving the carriage on CR 300 E Thursday afternoon when it was rear-ended by a pickup, according to the Madison County Sheriff’s Department.
Goyer and a passenger in the vehicle, Stacy Scott, 65, were both thrown from the carriage. The Herald Bulletin reports that Scott is the principal at Liberty Christian School. Both were taken to the hospital to be treated for their injuries.
The carriage was pulled by two horses. The sheriff's department says one of them, "Roman," had to be put down at the scene because of its injuries. The second horse was taken home.
Witnesses told deputies that a dark colored full-sized pickup was involved in the crash. Officers were able to identify the vehicle as a late model Chevrolet Silverado from parts left behind in the roadway. The pickup was later found at Riley and Sons Body Shop where deputies say witnesses saw the driver run from the vehicle.
The sheriff's department identified the suspected driver of the Silverado late Thursday as Jason Eugene Moore.
