By Drew Adams/West KY Star

Mayfield, KY – A Graves County man has been arrested after his car collided with an Amish buggy over the weekend. 69-year-old Luther Laws clipped and dragged the buggy with his trailer Sunday before knocking it into a ditch. Laws reportedly left the scene, unhooked his trailer and returned to the site of the incident. Officials at the scene confirmed a child was driving the buggy. The other occupants were children as well. Authorities determined the buggy did not display the orange slow moving vehicle emblem. The West Kentucky Star reports Laws was charged with leaving the scene of an accident and driving under the influence. The driver of the buggy was charged with failure to display the slow moving emblem.
