A sheriff deputy’s tape recorder captured a conversation between the
two sisters that raised questions about their story, according to a
complaint.

A Minnesota woman whose S.U.V. struck a horse and buggy last fall,
killing two children and injuring two others, tried to trick the
authorities into believing that her twin sister was the driver,
according to court documents.

The woman, Samantha Petersen, 35, was charged Monday with 21 counts,
including criminal vehicular homicide, driving under the influence
of drugs and leaving the scene of the crash in Stewartville, Minn.
It was not immediately clear whether she was in custody, or had
legal representation. Neither she nor her sister could immediately
be reached for comment on Tuesday evening.

Statements Ms. Peterson made imply that she had tried to deceive
investigators to avoid going to prison, according to a complaint
filed in Fillmore County District Court.

According to the complaint, Ms. Peterson, was driving a silver
S.U.V. on a rural road about 100 miles southeast of Minneapolis on
the morning of Sep. 25 when she hit the buggy, sending it flying
into a ditch. Two children, 11 and 7, died of their injuries. A 13-
year-old was left with facial injuries, and a 9-year-old with a
broken shoulder, internal injuries, concussion and bleeding in his
brain, according to the complaint. The buggy’s horse was also
killed.

According to the documents, Samantha Petersen said that she had
called 911 and then called her sister after the accident.

Eyewitnesses who had been driving on the road told sheriff’s
deputies that they had stopped when they noticed the rubble and
injured children. One witness said that he had noticed two women,
both with blonde hair, who looked similar. One wore a black coat,
black leggings and sandals; the other, later revealed to be Samantha
Petersen, the driver of the silver S.U.V., wore a red Hy-Vee grocery
store uniform, footage from the sheriff’s office later showed.
