Child dies at Halloween attraction during prank gone wrong: 'Horrific accident'
A child was killed in a freak accident at a haunted hayride attraction over the weekend, Tennessee authorities say.
The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) announced the incident in a press release on Saturday. Deputies were called to Haunted Hilltop, a Halloween attraction located in Harrison, Tennessee, at around 10:45 p.m. on Friday night.
When they arrived, officials learned that a boy had been run over by a tractor while playing a prank on hay riders.
“Upon arrival, HCSO deputies spoke with a chaperone for a group of juveniles that had been playing near a hay ride tractor route and were behind some bushes trying to scare some hay riders at the Haunted Hilltop Halloween event,” the HCSO explained.

“Deputies were told that one of the juveniles had attempted to jump on the trailer and had possibly slipped and fallen underneath the wheels and was found unresponsive.”
The Hamilton County Medical Examiner’s office told local media that the boy was 12 years old. In its press release, the sheriff’s office expressed its sympathy for the victim’s family.
“The HCSO family extends our thoughts and sympathy to the family of the deceased juvenile, as well as the others who witnessed the tragic event,” the statement said. “We ask the community [to] also keep this family in their prayers during this difficult time.”
“As this incident pertains to juveniles, no further information is available.”

2026 Tennessee Football Position Preview: Running Backs | Rocky Top Insider

A position group that has stability at the top but questions behind the starter is running back. DeSean Bishop returns as the unquestioned starter after a dominant redshirt-sophomore year, but both the pieces behind him a year ago that split the load have departed.
Now, it’ll be a battle for reps between young returners Daune Morris and Justin Baker and Tulane transfer Javin Gordon. Tennessee has rotated up to three backs a game, as well, making a chance for two to be in a game-by-game position to contribute.
Bishop, the star of the room, has expectations that he could play his way into an NFL draft pick this upcoming year. This past season, he took 182 carries for 1,076 yards and 16 touchdowns. That was good for a really strong average of 5.9 yards per tote.

Gordon, the Tulane transfer, joins after his true freshman year with the Green Wave. While it wasn’t at the SEC level, he was very productive, posting 128 carries, 516 yards and five touchdowns.
Morris and Baker return after limited roles. Morris was the fourth back, meaning he got more run than Baker when injuries did occur. He finished his freshman year with 35 carries, 133 yards and a touchdown while also returning punts. Baker took 14 carries for 43 yards.
“It’s huge because you look at the production, you got a guy that understands what he’s walking into in terms of seeing it week in and week out in terms of the caliber of teams that we’re going against,” Tennessee running backs coach DeRail Sims said in the spring about Bishop returning. “His understanding of what it’s like when the game’s on the line and having to go out there and make plays in all three facets of the game, in running the ball, the protection piece, and the passing game. So it’s huge having Bish back.”
The other pieces of the running back room are three-star freshman Will Rajecki and redshirt-senior Hunter Barnes.
