Lancaster – On July 11, 2023 at approximately 2153 hours, Pennsylvania State Police,
Troop J, Lancaster Station was notified of a crash involving a horse and buggy on Old
Philadelphia Pike just east of Martin Rd, Salisbury Township, Lancaster County. Upon
investigation by Lancaster Patrol Unit, it was determined a 2020 Ford Explorer, being
operated by 41-year-old Bryce TAYLOR, was traveling west on Old Philadelphia Pike.
The horse and buggy were also traveling west on Old Philadelphia Pike just east of
Martin Rd. TAYLOR got distracted looking down at the GPS on his phone and when his
view shifted back to the roadway, he saw the horse and buggy directly in front of him.
TAYLOR braked in attempt to avoid a collision but was unable to slow down in time to
avoid rear ending the buggy. The collision caused the buggy to overturn, which caused
all four occupants to be ejected onto the roadway. All four occupants of the buggy were
transported by EMS to Lancaster General Hospital for their injuries. As of July 12, 2023,
two of the occupants were discharged with minor scrapes and lacerations. The other
two occupants remain at LGH for treatment on their injuries, which consist of possible
broken bones and head injuries.
