An 18-year-old tourist from India dies after a horse-drawn carriage overturns in New York’s Central Park. Multiple reports say the horse bolts after the carriage driver steps down to take a photograph of passengers, leaving the carriage without an active driver. As the horse jerks forward, the carriage tips and passengers are thrown out. The teenager falls from the carriage and suffers critical injuries. One report says the incident occurs shortly before 3 p.m. and that the teenager later dies from injuries sustained in the fall. Other passengers are reported to have been involved or affected by the overturn, including claims that some refuse medical treatment. Separate accounts also describe the carriage being struck and overturned near a popular tourist area as the incident unfolds. The carriage drivers’ union attributes the initial bolting to the driver stepping out, while local coverage focuses on the teenager’s injuries and death. Authorities and investigators are expected to assess the circumstances surrounding the driver’s actions and the cause of the horse’s bolt.
