Escaped horses run over British highway

A group of escaped horses caused traffic problems by running up a British motorway.

On a video made from a car you can see how several horses run into traffic. 'They must be very scared,' a woman repeats as the animals rush past the vehicle. 'Please do not touch the car', a male passenger muttered in the meantime. Other people reported on Twitter their striking fellow road users.

The police confirmed the escape of the animals. 'It seems that the six or seven horses have been walking,' said a police spokesperson. The animals would have escaped from a field near the highway. 'They are now locked in a parking lot in Bredbury. We have contacted the owner. '
