Two horses, on of which is with foal, are expected to recover after the trailer they were in flipped over on the Bluegrass Parkway Thursday.

The incident happened at about 1 p.m. near mile marker 49 in Anderson County. The horses, a yearling and a mare with foal, were being transported from Lexington to Marion County when the driver of the truck pulling the trailer said the horses moved, somehow causing the trailer to become unhitched.

The trailer then flipped over on its side in the median of the roadway. Officials at the scene say they were able to get the mare out of the trailer, but that the yearling was trapped. That horse was sedated until a crew was brought in to help free it.

Officials said the horses seemed okay after the incident and are expected to recover.

BARBOURSVILLE, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A trailer broke loose from its SUV Friday night on Interstate 64, causing an accident just east of the Huntington Mall exit.

It happened just before 8 p.m. near the 22-mile marker. Police said an SUV was pulling the trailer when the bolt came loose and the trailer disconnected.

The trailer flew into a hillside, and the SUV hit the cable barrier in the middle of the interstate. I-64 was closed for a short time so the roadway could be cleared.

Luckily, no one was hurt.

CINCINNATI - Traffic on the Cut-in-the-Hill was backed up for several hours Sunday afternoon after two separate crashes.

One of those crashes involved a horse trailer that came unhinged with a horse along for the ride.

"My nephew was following me and he said, 'Hey, you might want to catch your trailer.' I thought he was kidding, looked up and there it went," said Bret Crawford.

The horse trailer cruised out of control on Interstate 75, crashed through several signs, then tipped on its side, with thoroughbred horse "Top Glory" inside.

Top Glory suffered a gash to its leg and some minor cuts. The horse is also missing a shoe but is expected to be alright.

Getting the horse into another trailer to finish the trip was a different story.

"This is a pretty hectic day for a racehorse," said Brian Johnson, who was following the trailer.

After some goading, the horse was put onto a trailer and taken to a farm on Tylersville Road where he's being treated for his injuries.

Second Crash Snarls Traffic

Shortly after, just before 5 p.m., a second crash caused more backup on the Cut-in-the-Hill.

Only one car was involved in this crash. Two people suffered minor injuries.

There was no word on what caused the crash.

'Lucky to be alive' ... Loose Trailer

Lucky to be alive'

8:46pm Thursday 26th February 2009

A Bradford shop worker escaped injury by inches when this trailer crashed through the front of the premises, coming to rest by his desk.

Witnesses said the trailer appeared to have come loose from a van in Toller Lane near to the junction with Duckworth Lane at about midday today.

It was reported to have careered across a grass verge and crashed through the glass front of Sarhad Money Exchange and Travel, damaging the door frame. Shop assistant Khan Farooq said: “We were just sitting inside and all of a sudden we heard a big bang and next thing we knew there was a van half way in the shop.

“We felt the building shake. We were in shock. It was only inches away from the desks where we were sitting, we feel lucky to be alive – it could have been a different story.”

Joanne Peel, of Approved Mortgage Services, watched the incident unfold through her shop window. She said: “There was a loud bang when the trailer must have come off and then it went over the verge.

“I just hoped no-one had been hurt. There’s always accidents round here, it’s a very, very busy junction.”

No-one was injured in the accident. Police are investigating.
