State Police said Monday they had located the driver of a Ford Escape who crashed into an Amish buggy while driving on State Route 12 in Lowville, killing a 17-year-old occupant and injuring four others. 

Jared Spaulding, 40, of Copenhagen, struck the rear of the buggy while traveling north near Yancey Road at around 7:24 p.m. Sunday, before leaving the scene, police said.  

The crash caused the ejection of all five occupants from the buggy, killing an Amish teen at the site and injuring a 21-year-old male, 20-year-old female, 18-year-old female and 16-year-old male. Two were hospitalized; all four were expected to survive, according to police.

Police say Spaulding was later located at his residence. Charges are pending the outcome of an investigation.
