BUTLER TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Two riders in an Amish buggy carrying five people have been hurt in a hit-and-run crash in southern Michigan's Butler Township.

The Branch County sheriff's office says the 16-year-old driver of the vehicle that collided with the buggy left the scene of Monday evening's accident but returned about an hour later.

Deputies say 67-year-old township resident Rachel Hilty suffered a severe leg injury and was flown to Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo. Her condition wasn't being released Tuesday morning.

The second victim was taken to Oaklawn Hospital in Marshall with shoulder and neck injuries. That person's identity and condition weren't available.

The sheriff's office is investigating.
