Pickup Slams Into Halloween Hayride, Killing Three Relatives

Two children and one adult were killed and multiple others suffered "life-threatening" injuries when a truck plowed into a Halloween hayride in rural Mississippi, authorities told NBC News. The victims were all on a trailer which was being towed by another vehicle near Chunky in Newton County, according to Capt. John Poulos of the Mississippi Highway Patrol. Three helicopters and "multiple" ambulances were needed to transport the wounded to three area hospitals where they were being treated for "life-threatening" injuries, he said.
