An 18-year-old tourist from India died after falling from a horse-drawn carriage in New York's Central Park. The police reported that the young man was taken to the hospital but later died from his injuries. The other three passengers were unharmed. According to a local union, the carriage driver had stepped down to take a photo of the passengers when the horse suddenly bolted, causing the fall. It is uncommon for a carriage driver to step down during a ride. The nearly 150-year-old attraction has been under scrutiny for years, with opponents calling it inhumane for the animals and dangerous.
