A HORSE broke loose and ran across the busy A338 Spur Road.
The incident happened at around 12.48pm yesterday near the Hurn turnoff on the dual carriageway.
Photographer Elise Price, who took these pictures, said: “The horse was loose at the Christchurch turn-off traffic lights just in front of us. A group of people were trying to urge him towards a field, and then the horse ran to the main road.”
Police said the horse had broken free from its owner and run into the road. The owner had recaptured it and returned it to its field within four minutes of the police being alerted and before they could arrive on the scene.
