Six children have been transported for treatment of varying degrees of injury after a horse drawn buggy and vehicle crash Thursday morning in Daviess County.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, a 2012 Chevrolet Sonic and the horse dawn buggy were both eastbound on Route D about five miles north of Hamilton around 8 a.m. when the crash took place. The patrol said the buggy, operated by a 10-year-old boy, was going at a slow rate of speed when the Chevrolet, driven by Glen Seger, 53 of Hamilton hit the rear of the buggy.

Five children from Kidder (location corrected), three girls and two boys ranging in age from 8 to 15 were all taken for treatment of moderate injuries to Cameron Regional Medical Center. A 13-year-old girl, also from Kidder, was transported for treatment of a serious injury to Children’s Mercy Hospital.
