More than a dozen children were thrown from a wagon after a tractor flipped during a hayride in upstate New York.

Chemung Conty Sheriff’s released surveillance video of the crash which happened at the German Baptist youth group gathering in Wellsburg on October 4.

Initially, more than 20 youngsters were onboard but five leapt off when the brakes started smoking and the driver began struggling with mechanical issues, according to witnesses.

The ride traveled along for more than a mile and a half before flipping at an intersection and tossing the remaining fifteen people across the road.

Most suffered abrasions but the 16-year-old driver remains in a critical condition.
