A horse-drawn carriage carrying tourists ran out of control in a Swiss resort killing one person and injuring 12, police said Sunday. About 40 people were on two carriages in woods in Val Roseg, near the border with Italy, on Saturday when the driver lost control, police said. A 73-year-old woman was killed and two of the injured were in serious condition. “On a sloping stretch of the route, the driver realized the braking power was insufficient and attempted to steer his three-horse carriage toward flatter ground to slow down,” said a police statement. One of the horses fell and the driver lost control of the carriage which hit a tree ejecting some passengers from the vehicle, it added. Police said they had launched an investigation.
