Lafayette County officials say Levi Kinsinger, 20, died after he was thrown from the Amish buggy he was driving Wednesday evening. The buggy was struck from behind by a pickup truck while traveling west near the 2400 block of Highway 81 in the town of Elk Grove, which is southeast of Platteville.

Kinsinger, of Platteville, was taken to an area hospital with serious injuries where he died Thursday morning. The truck driver, Eugene Jenson, 29, of Darlington, was not hurt. The horse pulling the buggy had to be put down because it was seriously hurt in the crash.
