A hayride in Elkton, Maryland, ended in an accident yesterday morning, leaving multiple individuals and a young child injured. According to a report by WMAR-2 News, roughly 12 to 15 people were on the hayride on the 1400 block of Appleton Road when the incident occurred. The Cecil County Sheriff's Office confirmed the crash, and three adults, along with a two-year-old child, were treated for superficial injuries. The exact nature of the accident remains under investigation, and yet the driver, a 25-year-old male, has been taken to a Delaware hospital; his condition remains undisclosed.
The hayride, which took place on private property, involved a tractor as the single vehicle in the crash, which happened around 11 a.m., as specified by the Cecil County Sheriff's Office in a statement given to WBALTV.
