(ABC 6 News) — The second suspect in a fatal Fillmore County buggy crash case was released on bail Thursday.

Sarah Beth Peterson faces 16 felony charges, including four charges of taking responsibility for a criminal act, after allegedly switching places with twin sister Samantha Petersen after a crash that killed two children.

“I just, you know, thought that it was a troublesome thing to happen in the Amish community. I’m just kind of hoping things get rectified, and that people slow down a little bit and just take note. Wishing the Amish family well that there’s healing,” said a woman from Chatfield who drives on County Road 1 often, the road where the crash happened.

Sarah Petersen did not give any comment as she left the Fillmore County Courthouse/Government Center Thursday.

The court set Sarah Petersen’s unconditional bail at $10,000, although the prosecution requested a minimum of $50,000.

However, Petersen was released on her own recognizance and does not need to pay that bail, as long as she submits to random drug testing, avoids alcohol and non-prescription drugs, and maintains contact with probation.

Samantha Petersen appeared in court Monday, March 25, and was released on similar conditions.

ABC 6 NEWS — Sarah Petersen, the second person charged in a Fillmore County buggy crash that killed two children, will be making her first appearance in court today.

Peterson has been charged with a total of 16 felonies, including four charges of taking responsibility for a criminal act.

The court documents allege, as did Fillmore County search warrants last year, that Petersen’s twin sister, Samantha Jo Petersen, caused the crash on County Road 1 in rural Stewartville, then called her twin sister to assume responsibility, as Samantha Petersen had allegedly taken methamphetamine before driving.

Sarah Petersen’s appearance is scheduled for March 28 at 10:45 A.M., while Samantha’s next appearance in court is set for June 3.
