A horse is dead and its rider in critical condition after colliding with a car in northeast Las Vegas.

The accident happened about 6:00 PM Tuesday on North Walnut Road and Judson Avenue near East Lake Mead Boulevard. Police say the horse and rider darted into traffic, hitting a 1994 Chevrolet Beretta driven by 22-year-old Noe Renteria.

52-year-old Mike McCutcheon was thrown from the horse. The horse died shortly after the collision.

McCutcheon was taken to a local hospital. A 13-year-old juvenile inside the car suffered minor injuries. Renteria was not injured.

The accident remains under investigation.

Maybe too much whiskey for the men and beer for the horses?

We were a blistering 9 degrees with snow flurries today. Kind of odd for our latitude. Kids are out of school until after the first. Keep me in your thoughts! ; )

bump?

The car already did that--rather severely, it seems.

At least for the horse and rider!

Sad story.

Lucky the horse didn't come through the windshield and kill the driver and/or passenger.

I used to own an extremely firey Arabian (a Khemosabi grandson, she said proudly to folks here who may be into Arabian horses!). I never rode near the roads because motorists seemed to think it was hilarious to honk and see the horses react. Some horses might be able to handle that...mine would have killed us both.

You got that right. When I was living in Kali and used to have horses, that happened to a neighbor.

They were driving their VW at night and came over a hill at 50MPH and there stood a horse in the road in front of them (not one of my horses, thankfully).

The horse ended up in their laps in the front seat, and the occupants were severely injured with lots of glass embedded in their faces, but all survived except the horse.

Check your fences, folks.

Yup! and boots and gloves and knitted hats. I see wood stacking for said boyos, hauling ashes to the lake and playing fetch with the dogs.

Jerks. Whenever I pass a horse alongside the road, I slow way down and pull to the opposite side if I can.

I took a shot at one of the rats and nailed it.

Good advice.

But going too slow can also make the horse a little nervous.

Most horses that spend time trail riding get used to the cars.

Thanks for the ping. Sounds like a runaway doesn't it?

6pm is dark. Horses are not too good after daylight has gone. A good many accidents with horses and cars involve a)a horse that has no business near a highway b)Horses crossing bridges c)Horses being ridden at night on the road, dirt or paved d)Riderless horses running for what ever reason.

Absolutely correct! It gets dark at 4:30.
Tried voluntarily riding after sundown once. Horses got spooky. Things don't look the same to them , even if there is moonlight.
