Wondered why the traffic was slowing almost to a stop, then saw a column of smoke in the distance, looked like it was near the Berkshire Brewery, managed to get a couple of snaps with the phone, the heat was immense and could be felt through the closed window of the van.
The horse had been safely evacuated from the vehicle and was being held next to a couple of police cars, some 300 metres down the motorway.
Gollleee.I wonder how that happened.I hope the horse isn't in shock
Excitement on the M4.
Oh dear!......glad to hear the poor horse was taken from the box in time Rolf.
Pete.
The horse was fine, I expect the engine caught fire and they were quick witted enough to immediately pull over and take it out. :)
hi
that was me and my friend and her horse we are all ok thank you and all we lost was the tack box and some material posessions.
Very glad to hear it, was concerned at first but then saw you standing further along the carriageway and everyone looked reasonably relaxed. How long did you have to wait for a replacement horsebox to arrive?
So glad all is well . Thank you for letting us know :)
hi
all in all we were on side of motorway for 2 1/2 hrs!!!
Crumbs, that's a long time, must have been difficult to keep the horse quiet for that period of time.
