Runaway Horse Struck and Killed By SUV: Horse hit on Kunkletown...

A horse running loose without a rider and being pursued by its owner in a golf cart was thrown 40 feet in the air when a sport utility vehicle crashed into it Thursday afternoon in Monroe County.

[yeahright]

40 feet in the air, really? That is a three story building.

If you think this report is stupid; you should read the one in the Pocono Record. Apparently the witnesses have, in fact, visual proof the driver was speeding, but the horse only flew 30 feet.

[speeding]

yes it appears the driver was speeding, also why was the horse loose?? The owner should be responsible for keeping the horse locked up.

[Cone]

it's amazing that none of the people were hurt worse.

Sounds like another idea for Mythbusters.

This is exactly why horses need to be outlawed. We have cars and farm tractors now.If it wasn't for horses, this would have never happened. If the golf cart was properly fitted with quad airbags and the drivers were all wearing helmets, these injuries would not have happened.When will people learn, we need more laws and regulations so these accidents are safer.

Ba-dum-bump. That's funny.

I think they meant 40 ft.*through* the air, not 40 ft. high.

Yes, I think the EPA should look into horse sh*t as a source of pollution.
I'll bet their carbon footprint is terrible.
Maybe Al Gore could make a lot of money from this idea. It might even mean another award.

[Yes]

Yes one death from runaway horse far to many. Outlaw horses today!

My prayers are with the horse, what a terrible way to die, so sad.

GOOD! What a freakin' waste of taxpayer money that is!

[Enough Liberalism]

Gee, I never knew an SUV could drive itself. What a stupid headline. Hey, lets blame the horse. The headline should be "Riderless Horse Smashes into SUV Driver".
