PRESTON, Minn. – A Spring Valley woman pleaded not guilty in a hit-and-run case involving an Amish buggy with nine people aboard. Fillmore County Judge Jeremy Clinefeltett scheduled a pre-trial conference for Brittany Edgar, 32, in November with a trial in February. No one died in the crash, but four Amish children were hospitalized. When a deputy stopped Edgar shortly afterward, she claimed she had hit a deer. Days later, police said, she admitted to being the hit-run driver and to giving false information to the deputy. NOTE: This case is unrelated to a separate Amish buggy accident in September near Spring Valley with two fatalities and charges against twin sisters.
