Loose horse severely injured in road-crash with car

A 34-year-old man crashed into a black horse that suddenly cut in front of his car in Ratchaburi’s Muang district early on Sunday morning.

 

Responding to the 1am crash report, Pol Major Jitakorn Rodthaweepol and rescue workers found a severely wounded female horse at the accident scene on Ratchaburi-Wat Pleng Road near Wat Thep-awas.

 

A Honda CRV with a heavily dented left front section and smashed windshield was nearby.

 

Driver Theeradech Wittaya-areekul told police that he was heading home from running an errand when the black horse suddenly walked across the road in front of his vehicle. Unable to brake in time, the man crashed his car into the animal.

 

The horse’s owner Nirat Tanthawee, 58, told police that the six-months-pregnant eight-year-old horse named Ploy was normally tied within a fenced enclosure in a nearby field and he had no idea how it escaped.

 

Police later brought both the driver and the horse’s owner to the Muang Ratchaburi Police Station to discuss compensation.

Compensation for who, the horse owner or the motorist. Or is

it possibly for the police as they took time to deal with the

accident and compensation issues.

Black horse????  Looks brown to me.

Use to have a horse. They are escape artist. The Damm thing would get in my garden every year and eat my cabbages..not one but would go down the row and take a bite of each one. Also got loose and high tail it thru the neighbors soybean field. Only to catch it was with a bucket of oats. They are suckered for oats.
