The Amish community in Michigan is in mourning after seven died on the same day in two separate crashes 86 miles apart in the central part of the state.

The Amish typically rely on horse-drawn buggies for transportation and do not operate their own cars or trucks but will ride in vehicles driven by people who are not Amish.

A van carrying 10 Amish community members was struck by a pickup truck carrying three occupants on Tuesday, Aug. 13, in Gilford Township, Mich. At least six people died in a collision between a pickup truck and a van in Gilford Township, Mich., on Tuesday, Aug. 13, per the Tuscola County Sheriff's Office news release.
