'It felt like a nightmare': Witnesses describe hay ride crash in Keokuk County
Two community members are speaking out after a hay rack ride carrying Sigourney 7th-grade students crashed just outside What Cheer in Keokuk County Saturday night.
"It was just a horrific scene," said Reanna Robb, who was on scene after the crash.
It was part of an event that was supposed to be a fun night for some Sigourney seventh-grade students.
The students took a haunted hike through Griffin Park before going on the hay ride. Robb and Collin MacCready had volunteered to work during the hike.
Another person who was quickly on scene said he helped the first person he saw, a seventh-grade girl he thought could be seriously injured.
"I held her neck to make sure she didn't move her head," said Collin MacCready.
Both MacCready and Robb said the driver of the hay ride left after the crash. Both said the adults were consuming alcohol, but did not see the driver drinking.
vlog reached out to the Keokuk County Sheriff's Office Tuesday, but did not receive a response.
