A Prairie Home woman suffered moderate injuries when a car rear-ended the buggy she was riding in on Monday night.
The crash happened on Highway 87 north of Apple Drive in Prairie Home, according to a Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report. A Chevrolet Malibu sedan driven by a 22-year-old Prairie Home man hit the buggy from behind, throwing its occupants out of the vehicle and pushing the buggy off the road.
The horse pulling the buggy was not injured, but it ran off after the crash, an MSHP spokesman said.
The 28-year-old buggy passenger was taken by ambulance to University Hospital. The 23-year-old buggy driver was uninjured.
The car had to be towed from the scene.
