LISBON, N.Y. (AP) - 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 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.

The driver of the Ford F-250 truck was evaluated at the scene and declined further treatment.

State police say 28-year-old James Crobar failed to see the buggy and struck the back of it as it traveled ahead. The crash remains under investigation.

Police haven't announced Levi Miller and John Miller's relationship.
