Dozens of children, adults injured in wagon crash at Wisconsin apple orchard | Wisconsin
About 25 children and adults were injured Wednesday when a wagon carrying them overturned in an apple orchard in western Wisconsin.
The children, parents and chaperones were on a school field trip to the Lafayette orchard when one of two wagons pulled by a tractor flipped on its side and overturned, Chippewa County Sheriff Travis Hakes told reporters.
Hakes said the tractor was traveling at low speed when the wagon overturned while going down the hill.
Three people were seriously injured, while five others were critically wounded. Authorities did not say how many of them were children.
Elementary school-aged children attend school in Eau Claire. Lafayette is 16 miles northeast of Eau Claire.
