Two boys died over the weekend after being struck by haunted hayrides in Tennessee and Minnesota, authorities said.
Two boys died over the weekend at haunted hayrides gone awry in two different states, authorities said.
The first incident happened Friday night at a hayride event in Tennessee, where a juvenile died from injuries they suffered after being struck by a tractor, according to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. The young attendee and a group of others were hiding in bushes along a hayride tractor route at the Haunted Hilltop Halloween event, near Chattanooga, when it occurred.
Although authorities identified the deceased only as a juvenile and said they would not provide additional information about their death investigation because of the person’s age, organizers of the Haunted Hilltop event said in social media posts that a young boy had died. The Chatanooga Free Press identified him as 12-year-old Samuel Jessen, citing the medical examiner’s office.
