On Sept. 1, Smith crashed into another Amish member driving a horse and buggy, Lasater said. Driving the same vehicle, Smith recalled striking the buggy of Mattie Miller, 29, from behind.

According to police, 55-year-old Brenda Aubrey was driving south when her car rear-ended the buggy. The buggy operator, 33-year-old Elise Girod, and three young children were all injured in the crash.
