Tragic Central Park Carriage Crash

An 18-year-old Indian tourist, Romanch Mahajan, died after a horse-drawn carriage he was riding in Central Park overturned when the horse bolted—triggered by the driver dismounting to take a photo. The crash also involved another carriage, but the family escaped with minor injuries. The driver has been suspended, and the horse, Sampson, will be retired. Authorities are investigating, while animal rights advocates are pushing to ban all horse-drawn carriages in the park. The carriage workers’ union has offered condolences to the family, as this tragedy underscores the dangers of lax safety protocols in tourist attractions.
