Cause of Damage: Horse

[Glassman]

Clip on YT

"Tourists in Israel saw three horses galloping down the highway before they had a run-in with an oncoming car.

As they neared an oncoming car, one of the animals leapt over the vehicle, crashing into the windscreen.

However, as the driver had stopped the car on seeing the mammals, the impact of the crash wasn't severe.

The driver was taken to a nearby hospital with minor cuts, while the horse was also injured slightly. "

Serves him/her right.

looks like the car filming the horses was chasing them and stopping them escaping one way, the other driver needs to have looked in front and pulled over

Wasn't an entire family killed when they drove into a camel and it went right through the passenger compartment and got stuck?

Can easily happen, in this country it's deer that come through the windscreen. Through lack of camels.

He was stopped, just looks like he isn't as the horse (and the car with camera) are moving.
Not sure what he could do there - slam it in reverse and fly backwards away from the horses?

the horse had a good go at jumping the car!
i saw a program where a car hit an adult moose from behind. the moose's ass whent through the windscreen just missing the driver leaving his 4 legs and head outside the car.
rescue crews had to sedate the moose, cut the roof off the car and crane it out.

A mate of mine (more of an acquaintence really) met his end many years ago when he hit a horse on a national road (DC equivalent)in South Africa. Killed instantly.
He'd obviously been going way too fast for the conditions when he rounded the bend.
