According to police, the crash occurred on State Route 28 at its intersection with Eagles Nest Road around 4:52 a.m. on November 1.

Police say 19-year-old Mose Shetler, of Brockway, was operating a horse-drawn buggy at the intersection of Eagles Nest Road and State Route 28 when he failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection before turning right onto Route 28.

According to police, Shetler’s buggy was then struck by a 2008 Pontiac G5, operated by 18-year-old Creed L. Knepp, of Brockway, that was traveling westbound on Route 28.
