Tragic 2014 Hayride

On October 12, 2014 a Jeep pulling a flatbed Halloween-themed hay ride missed a turn, causing the hayride to go down a hill and crash. One person was killed with numerous injured.

The operator's website of the ride billed the adventure as; "....The wagon continues creeping slowly into the darkness. Be ready…as there are spirits and demons lurking around every corner. The demons tend to gather at certain haunts deep in the forest, which unfortunately for those innocent souls aboard the wagon, seem to be located along the logging road..."[4][5]
