Motor Vehicle Crash - Truck v Horse - State Highway One, Foxton
22 July, 2015 At just after 9pm a horse from a nearby property ran onto State Highway One near Foxton.
The horse was struck by a Ute and a truck killing it instantly.
The Ute rolled causing moderate injuries to the driver.
A third vehicle had to take evasive action causing it to collide with a power pole which brought power lines down trapping the driver in the car for over 2 hours until the scene could be made safe for the driver to be extracted. The drivers of the Ute and the car were taken to Palmerston North hospital in moderate conditions; the driver of the truck suffered no injuries.
