The woman accused of hitting and killing an Amish man while driving intoxicated pleaded not guilty in court Thursday.
Police arrested 64-year-old Mary Carter of Crab Orchard in the case. She is charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The crash happened Wednesday afternoon on Highway 39 in Crab Orchard. The sheriff says an SUV driven by Carter hit the man from behind, and he was thrown from the buggy. The horse was able to run from the scene and is okay. The Lincoln County Coroner identified the victim as 52-year-old Bruce Troyer.
