Woman Injured in Hit-and-Run Horse-Drawn Carriage Crash, Corpus Christi

Multiple incidents involving horse-drawn vehicles occurred recently in the U.S., resulting in injuries. In Spring Valley, Minnesota, a 26-year-old woman was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries after a pick-up truck collided with her Amish buggy, killing the horse; the truck driver was cited for failing to drive with due care. In Corpus Christi, Texas, a 24-year-old woman was ejected from a horse-drawn carriage and hospitalized after a green car struck the carriage from behind and fled the scene, also colliding with another vehicle; police are still searching for the suspect, but the horse and carriage driver were reportedly unharmed. Both cases highlight the dangers horse-drawn vehicles face on public roads, particularly from inattentive or reckless drivers.
