A horse died Friday morning after falling out of the back of its trailer northbound on Interstate 205 at the Sunnybrook overpass south of Portland.Preliminary investigation indicates the horse kicked at the back door causing the door to open and the horse fell out onto the freeway. 911 calls about the injured horse in the northbound lanes of Interstate 205 near milepost 14 started coming in around 8:20 AM, drawing response from Oregon State Police troopers, Clackamas County Sheriff's deputies and Highway Department crews. Upon arrival, deputies and troopers found a critically injured horse in the center northbound lane. Due the severity of the horse's injuries and obvious suffering, officers stopped traffic and put the horse down. Traffic was getting through the area using the left freeway shoulder until all lanes were reopened about 9:25 AM.
