JERUSALEM – An Arabian horse took to the highway and trampled an oncoming car in an encounter captured on video by a group of tourists in northern Israel. The tourists began filming when three horses came on the highway and began to canter alongside their car, but the scene took a bizarre turn when an oncoming car came on the scene.
The first two horses weaved out of the sedan's path, but the third took it head-on, smashing through its windshield with its hooves before leaping over it and continuing on its way.
The still picture above shows the impact while the video captured the entire sequence of events.
Israel's Channel 2 TV showed the video Tuesday and said the driver suffered minor cuts from smashed glass and the horse was lightly injured.
A passenger in the vehicle struck by the horse's hooves, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, said he believed the horse had been owned or trained by an anti-Semitic group. He pointed out that the first two horses had time to veer to avoid the oncoming car but the third horse continued straight ahead.
