Summary

A tractor pulling a hayride overturned in Wellsburg, New York during a German Baptist youth gathering, ejecting passengers from the wagon. The tractor lost control while traveling downhill at high speed, with the wagon becoming disconnected. A 16-year-old driver was pinned under the tractor and remained in critical condition. Reports indicate 11 to 14 people were transported to hospitals, with casualty figures varying across accounts; most injuries were minor abrasions and cuts, though at least three people were reported in critical condition. A brake on one side of the tractor appeared badly burned, and authorities are investigating whether brake failure contributed to the accident. The exact cause has not been confirmed by Chemung County Sheriff Bill Schrom.
