WHITEHALL, Wis. — Eight persons in a horse-drawn buggy were injured, one critically, when the buggy was rear-ended northeast of Whitehall on U.S. Highway 53. Six were children. One of the juveniles was airlifted 150 miles to a Madison hospital. The accident was about 5:40 p.m. at Brittani Lane. Trempealeau County deputies said the buggy was stopped waiting for oncoming traffic before turning left into a private drive. Sheriff Brett Semingson declined to release the name of the driver who stuck the buggy or of the people in the buggy. Two of the juveniles were ejected. All eight suffered injuries, as did the horse.
