Toppled horse box slows M4
TWO horses have had to be treated by vets after their box toppled over on the M4. Lanes were shut and traffic built up fast as officers had to create an area for the animals to be treated and then loaded into another vehicle. The accident happened shortly before 9am yesterday just east of Junction 15 (Swindon) when the horse box was travelling along the M4 westbound towed by a Land Rover car. The occupants of the Land Rover, from the Southampton area, were uninjured. They were believed to have been taking the horses to a competition. Officers investigating the incident believe a tyre blew out on the trailer and as the Land Rover went into the hard shoulder, the horsebox toppled over leaving one horse with a cut on its leg.
