Fall Injury New York Today in New York: On the afternoon of the 17th, a horse-drawn carriage accident in New York's Central Park killed 18-year-old Romanci Mahajan, a tourist from India traveling with family to celebrate his high school graduation. While the driver had briefly stepped down from the carriage to take family photos of passengers, the horse suddenly charged forward and Mahajan fell from the carriage and died. It was the first fatal accident in roughly 150 years of Central Park carriage operations, prompting the union representing carriage drivers to temporarily suspend operations at least until Sunday to review safety rules.
