A 29-year-old Decatur woman told police she was driving on SR 124 and saw “faint lights” ahead of her but thought they were further away from her. She said she looked away from the road and when she looked back up, the horse and buggy were right in front of her– too close to avoid hitting it, according to the release. She told officers she couldn’t swerve out of the way because there was oncoming traffic.
