A recent incident in New York has led to a halt in horse-drawn carriage rides. The pause in operations is a result of the death of a teenager who was involved in an accident with a runaway horse carriage.

The union representing carriage drivers has announced a safety stand-down, which will be in effect through the weekend. This means that carriage rides in Central Park will not be available until the stand-down is lifted.

Further details about the incident and the safety stand-down are available from NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth.
