Teenager dies after being thrown from horse-drawn carriage in NYC's Central Park

The driver had dismounted to take a photograph, and the horse, which had been in the park for six weeks, caused the carriage to topple. The incident has intensified calls to ban horse-drawn carriages due to safety and animal welfare concerns.
