Tourist dies after horse-drawn carriage overturns in Central Park

An 18-year-old tourist died on Wednesday afternoon after being thrown from a horse-drawn carriage in New York’s Central Park. The victim has been identified by The Sun as Romanch Mahajan, an Indian national who was traveling with three other companions at the time of the accident.

According to reports from both The Sun and the Daily Mail, the incident began when the horse pulling the traditional coach became startled. The animal bolted away from its driver, causing the carriage to tip over during the movement.

The sudden overturning of the vehicle resulted in Mahajan being thrown onto the ground. Reports indicate that he sustained fatal injuries as a result of the fall.

While both publications reported on the sequence of events, specific details regarding what caused the horse to become startled were not provided in the initial coverage from either source. Both reports confirm that the primary cause of the carriage's collapse was the sudden flight of the horse.
