Fatal Ky. buggy crash brings murder charge.
A tractor-trailer driver was charged with murder after his truck crashed into a horse-drawn buggy in southern Kentucky,
killing an Amish toddler and injuring three members of her family, authorities said Saturday.
52-year-old Mark Bohms of Robinson, Ill., is also charged with operating a vehicle under the influence,
three counts of assault and criminal mischief. No bond has been set
Bohms reached down to grab a cigarette as he was cresting a hill Friday night just inside the Hopkinsville city limit, according to the police report.
When he looked up, he was behind the buggy and attempted to shift lanes. But he hit the buggy, flattening it and knocking off its wheels.
