Noah Yorder of the Amish community is the uncle of 20 year old Delila Gingerich. Wednesday, a 2002 Chevy Avalance struck the back of Delila's buggy on highway 1297, an incident that sent Delila flying several feet, breaking her neck.

"We're sorry about it," says Noah. "But we also don't hold a grudge against the one who did this to her. We think, it might have been planned from God."

It's an incident that calls into question the safety of buggies traveling these roads and if drivers need better warnings of their presence.

"There's actually three or four different types of Amish groups in the Glasgow area and the one that had the accident is the strictest group, Swartzentruber Amish," explains Glasgow resident Ruth Irene Garrett.

Ruth grew up in an Amish community herself and explains that each community operates under an ordinance. For this particular group, the ordinance dictates; no running water, no indoor plumbing, and seemingly no reflector tape on the buggies.

The sheriff's department says the buggy involved in the accident was too damaged to find out whether or not there were reflectors on the back.

According to Ruth, the Amish community is unlikely to comply with a request to use reflectors citing religious freedom.

"If something unfortunate happens like this, it's God's will and it was meant to be and they're not going to change their particular beliefs to compromise that," Ruth explains.

And with no foreseeable law being put into place, area police are warning drivers to stay focused on the roads.

"Especially when they see the horse drawn carriage advisory signs, you really have to pay attention or this is going to happen a lot more," says Deputy Chad Polland of the Barren County Sheriff's Department.

Delila Gingerich is currently being treated at the University of Louisville hospital.
