A crash between a horse-drawn Amish buggy and a pickup truck left one person with minor injuries.

Police say the sole occupant of the buggy was injured when a Toyota Tundra tried to pass them on Benedicta Road in Sherman just before 8 a.m. Friday before they struck the wagon.

The buggy occupant was taken to Houlton Regional Hospital with non life threatening injuries.

Their wagon was destroyed in the crash, which also left the horse with a laceration to its leg and foot.

The driver of the pickup, 42-year-old Lindsay Duffy-Stanley, was not injured.

She was cited for driving to endanger.
