\n\t\t\tTractor pulling wooden cart filled with dried hay bales for fall harvest hayrides. Haystack\t\t<\/p>\n

(NewsNation<\/a>) \u2014 At least 20 people were hurt, three critically, after a tractor pulling a wagon overturned in southern New York.<\/p>\n

Police say the tractor was towing a wagon with 19 passengers, most of whom were children, in Wellsburg, a village about an hour south of Ithaca along the Pennsylvania border.<\/p>\n

The crash was reported around 4:38 p.m. on Sunday. Police say the tractor was traveling at a high rate of speed down Comfort Hill Road toward the Berwick Turnpike when the tractor driver attempted an evasive move, causing the wagon to disconnect.<\/p>\n

The tractor flipped over and pinned the driver underneath, dragging him for several yards before stopping against a tree. The wagon continued on a short distance before coming to a halt.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have about 19 confirmed persons that were on the wagon,\u201d Chemung County Sheriff William Schrom told NewsNation affiliate WETM<\/a>. \u201c14 of those were treated on scene and signed off and\/or self-transported to area hospitals. Five were transported via ambulance, and I believe one was airlifted from the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group is from a German Baptist community which holds a gathering every Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tractor pulling wooden cart filled with dried hay bales for fall harvest hayrides.
