According to the report, a woman has been sentenced to four years in prison for her role in a deadly crash involving an Amish buggy and for attempting to deceive authorities by having her twin sister take the blame. The incident occurred on Sept. 25, 2023, near Spring Valley, when Samantha Peterson, 37, drove under the influence of methamphetamine and crashed into a buggy carrying four people.
The report also stated that the crash resulted in the deaths of two children, a 7-year-old and a 11-year-old.
