Halloween hay ride proves fatal to Big Isle girl, 7
POSTED: 01:42 p.m. HST, Nov 01, 2009
A 7-year-old girl died from injuries she sustained in a hay ride during a Halloween night church function on the Big Island.
She was identified as Emily Midgley of Hawaiian Ocean View Estates.
At 7:08 p.m. Saturday, police said, a 48-year-old Hawaiian Ocean View Estates man was operating a 1998 Dodge pickup with a trailer hitched to the truck. A number of passengers including Midgley were on the hay ride.
As the truck was coming to a stop at the end of the hay ride in the parking lot of Ocean View Evangelical Community Church, Midgley jumped off the trailer and was run over, police said.
She was transported to Kona Community Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
