Tourist killed in Channel Islands
A tourist has died after she was thrown from a horse-drawn carriage during a tour of the Channel Island of Sark.
The woman, aged in her 60s, suffered head injuries when she was thrown into the road with seven other Swiss tourists and the driver after the carriage hit a hedge and rolled over, said the BBC.
All nine were taken to Guernsey by boat and transferred to the Princess Elizabeth Hospital. The woman later died from her injuries.
One of the other passengers in the carriage also suffered a serious head injury.
Cars are banned on the small island, where only tractors and horse-drawn vehicles are allowed.
Guernsey Police and an accident investigator are assisting Sark constables with the investigation. Anybody with information is urged to contact the police
