Horse-drawn vehicle flips over
Two Mapleton-area teens got a scare but escaped serious injury after their horse-drawn vehicle flipped over in a ditch last week northwest of Dundalk.
On Sept. 1, at about 8:48am, Grey County OPP received a report of an overturned horse-drawn vehicle beside Southgate Road 26.
Police say the single-axle vehicle was travelling east on Southgate Road 26, when a tractor trailer turning off Southgate Sideroad 75 spooked the horse.
“The sound of tractor’s air-brakes caused the horse to bolt into the ditch where the vehicle rolled, ejecting both occupants,” police stated.
The driver of the horse-drawn vehicle, a 17-year old male from Wallenstein, was transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The passenger, a 19-year old-male from Wallenstein, was not injured.
The horse was not injured.
