Two Boys Die in Separate Haunted Hayride Accidents in Minnesota and Tennessee

The tragic incidents occurred just a day apart, involving tractor-pulled hayrides at Halloween attractions.

Alexander Mick, 13, was fatally run over by a tractor-pulled trolley at the Harvest of Horror Haunted Hayride in Minnesota.
Samuel Jessen, 12, died in Tennessee after attempting to jump on a hayride trailer and slipping under the wheels.
Both incidents are under investigation by local authorities, with the attractions temporarily closed out of respect for the victims.
Alexander Mick was an active eighth-grader involved in band, choir, robotics, and sports, remembered for his unique personality and sense of humor.
Community support has poured in for both families, with GoFundMe campaigns raising funds to assist with funeral expenses.
