Summary
A tragic accident in Central Park claims the life of an 18-year-old tourist from India after a horse-drawn carriage he was riding in bolted and overturned — the driver had stepped away to take a photo. The incident, just days after another carriage horse died from poisoning, has reignited fierce debate over the safety of the industry, with union leaders demanding accountability and lawmakers pushing for a two-year phase-out under Ryder’s Law. Animal rights advocates and city officials are calling for an end to the carriage rides, urging New York to prioritize both public safety and animal welfare.
