The Stearns County Sheriff's Office is investigating the death of a 13-year-old boy who died Saturday after being run over during a haunted hayride.
The Sheriff's Office received a report of the incident in the 4100 block of 200th Street in St. Augusta just after 7:30 p.m. Saturday. A caller said the boy was hurt after being run over by a wagon being pulled by a tractor at the Harvest of Horror Haunted Hayride.
Staff and bystanders, including an off-duty police officer and off-duty medic, gave medical aid to the boy, Alexander Mick of Rice. Responding personnel continued lifesaving efforts but declared the boy dead at the scene.
In a Facebook post Sunday night, Mick's parents said "Hold your babies tight. I would do anything to hold my baby again. Xander made his way to heaven last night and I will forever miss him."
