New York City is set to rename a landmark city council bill in honor of a young tourist who tragically lost her life in a horse carriage accident. Ryder's Law, which seeks to ban horse-drawn carriages from the city's streets, is being rebranded as Romanch's Law in memory of 18-year-old Romanch Tancharoen, who was fatally tossed from a carriage during a ride last week. The renaming comes as the city council pushes forward with efforts to eliminate what many have deemed a hazardous and outdated mode of transportation. As the bill gains momentum, Romanch's family is calling for an end to the horse carriage industry, citing the devastating consequences of this fatal accident.
The famous City Council bill known as Ryder’s Law that aims to ban horse carriages in the Big Apple will now be called Romanch’s Law — after the 18-year-old tourist fatally tossed during a ride last week.
