A horse galloped down a highway in Italy on Wednesday. The animal had escaped. It is not yet clear how it ended up on the road. In any case, the fast horse caused a stir in rush hour traffic.
The sight on the highway in Naples was quite unusual. Bewildered drivers pulled out their cell phones and snapped photos and videos. The images went viral on social media. The escaped horse swung between the cars and, according to Italian media, ran about five kilometers at a time. It hurried between the standing commuters and rush-hour workers.
As the highway company announced, the traffic police officers responded immediately. They tracked the animal and used hand gestures or signs to warn people that an adult horse was galloping between the cars at high speed.
Reunited with owner
The animal’s detour ended at Fuorigrotta in southwest Naples. There, emergency services seized him with the help of security vehicles and escorted him to the exit. The owner picked up the horse at the nearby train station. The sprint on the Autobahn would have taken about 25 minutes. How the horse got there in the first place is now being determined.
