Amish Teen Electrocuted in Ohio
CHARDON, Ohio (AP) - A 17-year-old Amish boy was electrocuted trying to remove a power line that got tangled in his horse-drawn buggy's wheels, authorities said.
The boy drove over a power line Tuesday that had sagged down within a foot of the road after separating from a pole, authorities said.
The line got stuck in the wheels and stopped the buggy. The boy got out and grabbed the 4,800-volt line in an attempt to remove it from the wheels, the Geauga County Sheriff's office said. He died at the scene.
The boy's name was not released because his family had not all been notified, officials said.
The Amish are a deeply religious group who shun modern conveniences such as electricity, telephones and car ownership. About 40,000 Amish live in Ohio, the most of any state.
The boy was traveling south on a road near Geauga-Trumbull County line in northeast Ohio, about 25 miles east of Cleveland.
The horse pulling the buggy was not injured.

:rofl:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i wonder what they think about their paved roads? U.S. currency manufacturing? clothes manufacturing? USPS? etc? or do they literally make everything themselves, not ride on paved roads with their horse boxes, use the barter system, use pigeon mail, and sew their own clothes?
