Separate events occurred in the past week that resulted in the deaths of two young Amish children from the northeastern region of Missouri.
There were two occurrences that took place in Schuyler County.
The most recent accident took place on Route Y, which is located to the north of Greentop, just before 4 o’clock on Saturday afternoon.
This information was provided by Schuyler County Deputy Dave Crawford, who stated that a young boy of five years old had fallen out of an Amish buggy, and a wheel had covered his back.
The child sustained severe injuries and was transported to Northeast Regional Medical Center via ambulance from the scene of the accident. Crawford stated that it is anticipated that the youngster would be OK.
There was another accident that took place on Baker Drive, which is located west of Queen City, on Wednesday afternoon.
The head of a young Amish girl, who was only two years old, was struck by the wheel of a hay wagon, and it is possible that a horse trod on her abdomen.
According to Deputy Crawford, the investigators were unable to determine whether the injuries reported in the abdomen were caused by the horse or the wagon wheel.
According to Crawford, the young child was transported by paramedics to Northeast Regional Medical Center, where she underwent surgery to treat internal bleeding.
The injury to her skull did not turn out to be particularly severe.
Additionally, as a precaution, the young lady was transported by helicopter to University Hospital in Iowa City, Iowa.
An exceptional job had been done by the Kirksville surgeon in fixing the injury sustained by the toddler, according to Crawford, who stated that the doctors there informed the girl’s parents that they did not require any additional treatment.
The girl is believed to make a full recovery.
