Central Park horse carriage rides suspended after fatal accident
Summary
Amusement Park New York City New York in New York City, New York: An 18‑year‑old tourist named Romanch Mahajan died in Central Park on a Wednesday when he jumped from a runaway horse carriage that was being pulled by a horse without its driver, striking his head. The incident occurred while the carriage had been halted to take photographs of the family near a fountain and the horse suddenly bolted. Union representatives said the tragedy has prompted a review of safety protocols for the 200 carriage owners and drivers in the park. Central Park authorities are suspending all horse carriage rides at least until Tuesday as new safety measures are developed.
