FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) – Our partners in news at ABC 21 report that one child has died as a result of a car hitting a buggy on Friday in Adams County.

Authorities say that it happened around 2:00 p.m. on SR 218, just east of County Road 100 East. Initial reports indicate that a 24-year-old male was traveling east on the road while going five miles over the posted speed limit of 55 mph.
