One driver saw some serious horse-power on I-95 early Tuesday morning after capturing an unusual sight on video.
again with what looked like a wild west
scene a movie playing out in
Philadelphia today that is a horse
running along I95 that horse has been
captured now it is safe but there are so
many questions about how this could
possibly have happened yeah action news
reporter Caroline gogin spent all day on
the story she joins us live from Center
City with what we know about this Wild
Ride
Caroline well Sarah and Brian truly a
wild sight on the highway here in
Philadelphia this morning we've learned
that that horse belongs to a riding club
that has locations in Strawberry Mansion
and in Fair Mount Park somehow he got
out of his stable early this morning he
made it here to the Vine Street
Expressway and then to 95 North getting
drivers quite the show they need help
there horse from 95 than Northbound ramp
and they're requesting help to help
catch this horse catch a horse that's
correct sir this horse was the main
attraction on this major Interstate this
morning in this video you can hear him
hoofing it down the highway stunning
drivers and passengers in the area you
don't normally see that especially that
early in the morning Angelo Palmer
spotted the horse around 445 he and his
coworker both school bus drivers were in
the same bus on 676 heading toward 95
North couple cars had their fourways on
and I looked ahead of them and I saw an
unmounted horse Galloping down the
highway so Palmer who was in the back
seat pulled out his cell phone the horse
is going like 25 hour cuz we slowed down
to his speed we all mashed his speed you
know we was trying to protect the horse
when drivers saw the horse on the
highway they called police state police
and Philadelphia police quickly
responded eventually coring the horse on
West Morland Street in Port Richmond I
just got up the phone State they have
the horse trapped nodding cusy at West
Morland and bath they fed him and gave
him water until representatives from
Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club got to
the area after placing the horse in a
trailer they told action news they just
bought him but they didn't have much
else to say before driving away somebody
let him out the good news is the horse
is doing okay as for what spurred this
highway getaway we may never know he
made out okay so that's a good thing yes
good
outcome and that really is the good news
in this entire situation that that horse
is safe was rescu this morning and is
going to be okay we attempted today to
learn more about the horse and about the
Riding Club belongs to but we never
