In Khabarovsk, a horse that escaped from its owner caused an accident at the intersection of Bolshaya and Demyan Bedny streets, almost falling under the wheels of a car and damaging a foreign car. According to the press service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the region on May 5, the owner of the animal will have to pay a fine, according to the Code of Administrative Offenses.

The fact that there is a frightened animal on the road was reported by eyewitnesses to the duty station of the city police department. Traffic police officers quickly identified the horse's owner.

"A 50-year-old native of Primorsky Krai lives in a private house a few hundred meters from the accident site. The man explained that the Orel trotting horse, named the Caster, had inadvertently left the compound on his own," the department's Telegram channel says.
