A Tennessee child was accidentally run over by a tractor and killed while playing at a Halloween hay ride Friday night.
Hamilton County deputies and medics rushed to the 8200 block of Highway 58 shortly before 11 p.m. over reports of a juvenile that had been “struck by a tractor.”
“Upon arrival, HCSO deputies spoke with a chaperone for a group of juveniles that had been playing near a hay ride tractor route and were behind some bushed trying to scare some hay riders at the Haunted Hilltop Halloween event,” police said.
“Deputies were told that one of the juveniles had attempted to jump on the trailer and had possibly slipped and fallen underneath the wheels and was found unresponsive.”
An investigation into the deadly incident is being led by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office and Medical Examiner’s Office.
“The HCSO family extends our thoughts and sympathy to the family of the deceased juveniles, as well as the others who witnessed the tragic event,”
“We ask the community also keep this family in their prayers during this difficult time.”
