An Amish teen was killed in a horse and buggy crash in upstate New York on Tuesday night, police said.

Rudy Hershberger, 17, was operating the buggy on a highway in Georgetown when a car struck the carriage from behind, state police said in a press release.

Hershberger was ejected from the buggy onto the roadway and was taken to a nearby hospital, but could not be saved.

The driver of the car, a 19-year-old woman, was not injured in the crash. She tested negative for alcohol and drug impairment, police said.
