ST AUGUSTA, Minn. — A 13-year-old boy is dead after being run over at a haunted hayride Saturday night near St. Cloud.
The Stearns County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded to reports of an accident on the grounds of the annual Harvest of Horror Haunted Hayride in St. Augusta just after 7:30 p.m. A 911 caller reported that a teen had been run over by a trolley wagon that was being pulled by a tractor.
Event staff and bystanders, which included an off-duty police officer and an off-duty medic, jumped in and immediately began lifesaving treatment, officials said. They were soon joined by paramedics and fire-rescue personnel, but the young victim — identified by the sheriff's office as 13-year-old Alexander Mick — was declared dead on the scene.
Investigators from the Stearns County Sheriff's Office are looking into the circumstances surrounding Mick's death and how he ended up under the trolley wagon.
St. Augusta is located approximately nine miles southwest of St. Cloud.
