Tragic Central Park carriage crash kills 18-year-old tourist, spurring safety calls
An 18-year-old Indian tourist, Romanch Mahajan, died after a horse-drawn carriage in Central Park bolted and overturned following a collision with another carriage. The NYPD continues an investigation. The incident is the eighth horse-related event in the area in 13 months, prompting renewed calls for safety reforms in NYC's carriage industry, including driver training and stricter rules, with Ryder's Law being discussed; previous incidents include a horse named Deniz’s death and another overturn in May.
