Gang of horses run loose in rush hour traffic on British road

April 12 (UPI) -- A surprised man driving on a British road captured video of an unusual hazard -- about a dozen horses running loose during rush hour.

Jack Streetly posted a video to YouTube showing the 10 to 12 horses he spotted running Tuesday morning down the middle of a road near an Asda store in Odsal, England.

"There were about 10 or 12 of them on the dual carriageway by Asda. It looked like they'd maybe been running up and down for a while as there was horse mess all over the road," Streetly told The Telegraph & Argus newspaper.

West Yorkshire Police said the horses were rounded up just before 10 a.m.

It was unclear whether the horses had escaped from a nearby farm and whether their owner had reclaimed them.
