Charges have been filed in Vernon County after a horse-drawn buggy crash that claimed the life of one person and injured another.
It happened last Christmas on State Highway 52 in the Town of Union. Jaydon Shea is now charged with several crimes in the death of Henry Bontrager, who was driving the buggy, including injury by intoxicated use of a vehicle. His wife, Ruth, was also injured. Authorities say a passenger in Shea’s vehicle tried to claim they were driving, but that was later proven false.
