A Stratford-area man has been charged with careless driving after police say a speeding one-horse buggy tried to lead police on a wild chase.
Police say the bizarre incident happened Sunday in the village of Milverton, when patrol officers spotted the open buggy with three male occupants — all in their early 20’s — driving faster than the usual buggy speed and swerving all over the streets.
It’s alleged that the buggy driver sped up the horse when he saw the O-P-P cruiser, and continued driving erratically before making a sharp turn, causing the buggy to tip over and spill all three occupants and several bottles of liquor.
In addition to the careless driving charge the men face liquor-related charges, and police say the borrowed horse and buggy were returned to their farm.
