Horse Trailer Struck
In this incident, a utility van and truck with a horse trailer were involved in a crash. It is not clear who caused the accident to occur at this time. However, the accident caused damage to the rear door of the horse trailer and ramp. This caused the horses to be trapped within the stall. The disabled trailer could not be moved off the highway, which further distressed the horse, causing injuries.
The responding units worked with the horse owners and partners to create a plan to safely remove the horse from the trailer. The process involved shutting down the southbound lanes of the highway while a squad worked to remove the doors and ramp from the trailer. The two horses were corralled and removed.
A Critical Matter for All Involved
In this collision, the initial reports did not indicate how the accident occurred. If the utility trailer caused the accident, the injuries to the trailer and animals may be claimed against the at-fault driver. Schedule a free consultation with Kwartler Manus in cases like this.
