I saw this happen when I was a young girl. The horse had to be shot, but that was back in 1961 and the car was a Studebaker. Maybe the fact that today cars are made of tinfoil and plastic is why the horse escaped with just bruises.

Either way the driver can thank God they are not spending a long time in the hospital, because that was one major head on collision.

Big horse, stupid driver. Phenomenally stupid, in fact . . was he thinking the horses would veer off as he approaches? I wouldn’t be surprised he honked his horn, the imbecile.

I’ve seen horses do crazy stuff like this and walk away unscathed... only to break a bunch of bones in a leg while pawing at the stall door.

And I thought running into a deer was bad.

I nearly hit one on an on-ramp to a freeway.
Picture this eerie scene. 10:30PM on a dark night and I'm accelerating on the on-ramp when I notice brake-lights from several cars ahead of me. A second later a white horse with the look of terror on it's face crosses in front of me and runs along the drivers side of my car heading behind me. It all happened within seconds, but it felt like it was all in slow motion. It gave me chills thinking about the horrific look it had, and I still play out the scene every time I take that ramp, many years later.

Learned the next day it was hit by a car and killed as it crossed the freeway, and that it escaped from a horse trailer

If you look carefully, his legs didn’t go through the front windshield. They were folded at the leap, and he hit the windshield with his knees and chest, sliding up and over the roof.
