Central Park Carriage Ride Halts After Tragedy
Description
A tragic accident in Central Park has shut down iconic horse-drawn carriage rides — the first fatality in over 150 years. An 18-year-old tourist jumped from a carriage after it bolted, dying from injuries as his mother fell. The driver stepped out to take a photo, triggering the chaos. The drivers’ union is pausing operations to overhaul safety, focusing on driver control and oversight, while the park’s conservancy pushes for permanent shutdowns, citing rising risks in a crowded urban space.
