The animal, which was tied to a pole by his tangawala was provided with a packet of fodder to eat but it somehow blocked its eyesight that made it more furious. This as well as the skyrocketing temperature caused the horse to break away from the pole, dash into a motorcycle and finally crash with the car head on.
“The horse reacted in such a manner due to the intense heat. The fact that it was unable to see when tied to the pole also irked the animal. It suffered some injuries but there is nothing serious,” Dr. Arvind Mathur, the doctor treating the horse told India Today.
