Horse Falls Out of Trailer on I-91 North

A horse sustained minor injuries after falling out of a trailer on Interstate 91 north on the Hartford/Windsor line.

It happened near exit 34. State Department of Transportation traffic cameras showed state police standing with a horse on the grassy median between the north and southbound sides of I-91. The horse was standing up in traffic camera footage.

The horse got slight road rash, but is doing fine, according to state police. A photo viewer Suzanne Spight snapped shows an off-duty state trooper walking the horse across the highway to safety.
