LISBON, N.Y. – A 7-year-old Amish boy injured when a pickup truck crashed into his buggy on an upstate New York road remains in critical condition with head trauma.

Levi Miller and 30-year-old John Miller were ejected from the buggy around 7:45 p.m. Wednesday in Lisbon, about 6 miles (10 kilometres) from the Canadian border.

John Miller was treated at a local hospital and released. Levi Miller was transferred to a Syracuse hospital. The horse is expected to recover from injuries.
