Minivan & Two Cars Hit A Horse On The Highway

The Florida Highway Patrol is looking for the owner of a horse blamed for a wreck that first responders say should've claimed some lives.

Sandy Swindall was driving north on Hwy 29 near Molino Thursday night when a horse ran out into the road. She hit the horse which busted the windshied of her minivan and then peeled the top back like it was a tin can.

Mireli Scott was in a Ford Focus behind Swindall. When Scott hit the horse, the Focus went airborne and then rolled several times.

A third car then hit the horse.

Swindall only suffered minor injuries. Scott was taken to Sacred Heart Hospital by Life Fight. A passenger in his car, Linda Batte, was taken there by ambulance. Both are listed in serious condition. No one in the third vehicle was hurt.

Anyone with information about the horse is asked to call Trooper Brian Wood at 850.484.5000.
