A horse and buggy

A 17-year-old boy was tossed from a horse and buggy after a hit-and-run crash in Little Britain Township, Pennsylvania State Police said on Friday, Nov. 21. 

Reyna Mondragon Reza, 41, of Nottingham, was driving east on Ashville Road when she rear-ended the buggy’s rear-left wheel with the front passenger-side bumper of her vehicle around 7:25 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 10, according to troopers. The impact launched the teen into the air before he landed several feet off the roadway in the grass. 

The horse became separated from the buggy and ran southwest across a field, investigators said. The buggy itself traveled farther before coming to rest several yards from where the teen landed. 

State police said Reza did not stop and continued driving east on Ashville Road before heading directly to her job at the Chester County Water Authority. Surveillance footage at the facility showed her arriving shortly after the crash with fresh vehicle damage. 

Troopers later made contact with Reza, who allegedly admitted she felt the impact but did not return to the crash site until after her shift ended, according to the release. The boy’s and the horse’s conditions were not immediately available. 

Reza has been charged with two misdemeanor traffic offenses and eight summary traffic offenses. Her case is pending.
