A man who struck an Amish buggy from behind in Shelby County in April has been found guilty of Aggravated Vehicular Homicide in Ohio.
Court records show 43-year-old Steven Hunter pleaded no contest to charges from an accident that killed an Amish woman and injured three of her family members. Shelby County Prosecutor Tim Sell told the Sidney Daily News that Hunter was drunk and high on marijuana when he drove his SUV into the buggy.
23-year-old Sarah Schwartz was killed; her husband, 27-year-old Henry Schwartz, 18-month-old son Elmer and 4-month-old daughter Ester were critically injured but survived. All four were ejected from the buggy.
Hunter, who had no license after a previous DUI conviction, fled the scene.
