The Free Press was informed by the Highways Agency that two vehicles were in collision at 8.30pm that night but we have since discovered that one of the cars collided with a horse before tipping over and spinning, followed by a second vehicle which clipped the animal.

The first car was totalled after unfortunately hitting the horse full on, while the second escaped with little damage.

Those involved were treated at the scene until the ambulances arrived.
