State police say a western Pennsylvania man was drunk when he was driving a horse-and-buggy that collided with a car, killing the horse.

Joseph Byler, 19, of New Wilmington, Lawrence County, faces a preliminary hearing Feb. 2 on charges of underage drinking, drunken driving and running a stop sign.

Police say Byler failed to stop causing a crash Sunday in Wilmington Twp., about 50 miles north of Pittsburgh on Sunday evening. Police say the driver of the car suffered minor injuries.
