AFTERMATH: The driver stopped after the horror collision

A resident, who saw the incident, told Cambridge News: “It’s disgusting, it made me feel sick.

“If the driver hit the horse head on that horse would have gone straight into his windscreen. Not only would the horse have died but so would the driver.
