In Vila Velha, Brazil, a horse was struck by a vehicle on the Second Bridge during the morning of Tuesday, the 17th. A video captured the incident, revealing that the injured horse was walking alongside another horse that remained unharmed. As the horses were traversing the bridge, a car collided with one of them, forcefully throwing it to the ground. The other horse, which was ahead, returned to the scene after the incident.

After the driver of the vehicle exited the car, he reported the accident to the local police and was instructed to file a report on the Detran website. Fortunately, the driver sustained no injuries. The wounded horse managed to get back on its feet after a brief period but was later found tied up in an empty lot nearby. Unfortunately, it appeared to have sustained severe injuries, including wounds on its neck.

This incident raises concerns about the safety of animals in urban areas and the necessity for measures to prevent such occurrences. As urbanization continues to expand in regions like Grande Vitória, it is crucial to find solutions that protect both wildlife and public safety to avoid further tragic accidents like this one.
