 California man loses his life after a horse crashes through the windshield of the car he was traveling in.


In the early morning hours of Sunday September 22nd, a vehicle hauling a horse and trailer crashed into the guardrail along I-15 in California. This accident predicated a chain reaction of accidents along the interstate including a semi hitting the horse trailer.


The horse had escaped before the crash with the semi but unfortunately would not escape with its life and would ultimately be involved with the only human fatality. 


According to reports, after escaping the trailer, the horse crossed the median where it was clipped by a Honda Accord driven by a 27-year-old male who escaped with minor injuries. Sadly the 25-year-old male passenger would lose his life as the horse was spun and flung through the windshield causing the passengers death alongside the horse.


No arrests have been made and what caused the vehicle hauling the horse to initially crash remains under investigation.
