(KWNO)-A vehicle traveling as fast as 60 mph rear-ended an Amish buggy on Thursday afternoon in Saratoga Township. According to a Winona County Sherrif’s Office spokesperson, the driver, 20-year-old Carter Hovland of Chatfield, was traveling south on Highway 35.

The WCSO spokesperson said charges against Hovland could be forthcoming, but the crash is still under investigation. Hovland was not impaired, according to the spokesperson.
